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.
