Special Reasons Prompt Real Madrid to Announce Cucurella Deal Early

Real Madrid's official announcement of signing Marc Cucurella has sparked questions within Spanish sports circles, especially since the club has not yet announced other deals that it is said to have already finalized in the past period.

The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' pointed out that Florentino Perez had previously spoken about finalizing deals with Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries, and that the Bernardo Silva deal had also been completed. However, Real Madrid has not issued any official announcement regarding these names so far, unlike what happened with Cucurella.

The report suggests that the timing of the announcement of the Spanish defender's inclusion may be linked to factors beyond sporting aspects, including recent elections and the promise made by Enrique Riquelme regarding having a Real Madrid player within the Spanish national team for the World Cup.

The newspaper added that some Real Madrid fans criticized the absence of club players from the Spanish national team list participating in the World Cup, which may explain the rush to announce the signing of Cucurella before the Spanish national team's first appearance in the tournament.

Cucurella is currently one of the Spanish national team elements, which has given Real Madrid a representative within La Roja's squad for the World Cup, according to the vision presented in the report.

The same source also explained that Real Madrid's official website has already listed Cucurella among the team's players participating in the World Cup, raising the number of club players present in the tournament to 11.
