Cucurella urges Enzo Fernández to join Real Madrid

Spanish left‑back Marc Cucurella, fresh from his move to Real Madrid, told Radio that adapting to the European champions’ demands will be a “huge challenge” and that he hopes former Chelsea teammate Enzo Fernández can also join the Santiago Bernabeu before the transfer window closes. Cucurella explained that every Real Madrid player is of high quality and that fitting in is not easy. “You have to be at 100 per cent in every match. Every team wants to beat you,” he said. When asked about his future partner on the left side, Cucurella said he will play with Vinicius Jr. and is prepared to cover any tasks the Brazilian does not perform. “I’ll do whatever he doesn’t want to do. As long as he’s decisive and fresh enough to score goals, I’ll take care of the dirty work,” he added.
