Kukurelya is confident he can adapt to Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid

"I'm sure we will find a common language on the pitch. If Vinicius doesn't return to defense, that's not a problem, I will cover that area and take over the work he doesn't want to do. The most important thing is that he stays fresh and continues to produce results. For that, I am ready to do all the dirty work," said Cucurella as quoted by Marca. On 15 June, Real Madrid officially announced the transfer of the defender from Chelsea for €55 million plus €5 million in bonuses. Cucurella was in the Barcelona system from 2012 to 2020. The defender's contract with the Madrid club is valid until 2032. Previously, Cucurella played for Chelsea since 2022.
