Spain head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has said he is happy for Marc Cucurella as the defender leaves Chelsea to join Real Madrid.
On Monday, Real Madrid officially announced that the LaLiga club has reached an agreement with Chelsea for Cucurella’s transfer.
Cucurella signed a contract with the Los Blancos that will see him remain at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 30, 2032.
Speaking with reporters ahead of Spain’s World Cup opener with Cape Verde on Monday evening, De la Fuente said it was good news for Cucurella and the Spain team.
“We celebrate if it’s good news for Cucu,” he said. “And if something else comes up during the tournament with another team-mate and it’s good news for him, then we celebrate that, too.
“What is good for one of my players is good for the team as a whole.
“If he’s happy and content then, I am happy and content. Anything I see that brings my players happiness makes me as happy as they are.”
