Real Madrid star welcomes Cucurella after World Cup win: ‘Waiting for you at the biggest club in the world’
Real Madrid’s dressing room is already making Marc Cucurella feel welcome, with Rodrygo becoming the latest player to publicly celebrate the Spanish left-back’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos completed the signing of Cucurella during the World Cup, beating competition for his signature before the defender went on to become a world champion with Spain.
He is expected to join his new teammates at the beginning of August.
Rodrygo sends clear welcome message
As quoted by AS, Rodrygo responded to one of Cucurella’s social media posts after Spain’s triumph with a direct message:
“Congratulations on the title!! We are waiting for you at the biggest club in the world.”
The Brazilian is not the only Madrid player to have welcomed the new signing. After the final against Argentina, Vinicius Junior also congratulated Cucurella, writing:
“Congratulations and welcome, Cucu!”
Other members of the squad, including Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rudiger, reacted to Cucurella’s posts as well.
It is a small detail, but one that shows the enthusiasm surrounding his arrival inside the dressing room.
Real Madrid delighted with Cucurella signing
Real Madrid are also said to be extremely satisfied with the transfer, particularly after watching Cucurella’s performances throughout the World Cup.
His arrival gives Jose Mourinho another experienced option at left-back and adds a player who will return to club football with the confidence of having just won the biggest international trophy.
Cucurella’s intensity and willingness to compete should also fit naturally with Mourinho’s demands.
He was one of La Roja’s best players at the tournament and played every single minute for them alongside Unai Simon and Pau Cubarsi.
A warm welcome before pre-season arrival
For Madrid, the reaction from the squad is encouraging. New signings need to integrate quickly, particularly when a new coach is also building relationships and establishing a dressing-room hierarchy.
Cucurella will have little time to celebrate once he joins the group in August. Real Madrid are looking to respond after two seasons without a major trophy, and Mourinho will expect immediate commitment from every player.
For now, though, the message from his future teammates could hardly be clearer.
Cucurella is arriving as a world champion, and the Real Madrid dressing room is already waiting to welcome him.

Real Madrid to honour two World Cup winners at Santiago Bernabeu during Real Sociedad clash
Real Madrid started their La Liga campaign on a winning note, with a late 2-1 win over Espanyol thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham and Carlos Espi.
They are now set to welcome Real Sociedad to the Santiago Bernabeu in what will be their second league game of the season.
Jose Mourinho will be hoping for a more cohesive performance than the one against Espanyol and to see more positives against the Basque club.
Now, according to COPE, Los Blancos are set to stage a special tribute at the Bernabeu, with Marc Cucurella and Mikel Oyarzabal due to be recognised for winning the World Cup with Spain.
The trophy itself will be present at the Bernabeu tomorrow as part of the ceremony, adding extra significance to the occasion.
Cucurella to receive Real Madrid tribute
Cucurella will be honoured by Real Madrid after returning from the tournament as a world champion.
The left-back joined Madrid this summer and has quickly become one of the most high-profile additions to Jose Mourinho’s squad.
For the club, the tribute is a chance to celebrate both the achievement of one of their own players and Spain’s success on the biggest international stage.
It should also offer Cucurella a memorable Bernabeu moment early in his Madrid career.
Oyarzabal to be recognised by Real Sociedad
Mikel Oyarzabal will also be part of the celebrations, although his recognition will come from Real Sociedad.
COPE reports that both clubs will take part in honouring their respective World Cup winners, creating a shared moment before attention turns back to domestic competition.
Oyarzabal was one of Spain’s key figures during the tournament and remains one of Real Sociedad’s most important players.
For supporters inside the Bernabeu, it will be a rare opportunity to see the World Cup up close while celebrating two players who helped Spain lift it.
While most of the attention in the Bernabeu will understandably be on Cucurella, the fans should also take the opportunity to honour Oyarzabal.
Cucurella has arrived at the club not only as a major signing for the Mourinho era but as a world champion, and he is yet to get started properly in his Los Blancos career.
Tomorrow would give him the opportunity to receive the love that the Bernabeu gives him and use it as motivation to continue having memorable nights at the stadium in the seasons to come.
