Cucurella is expected to stay at Chelsea until after the FIFA World Cup before completing his move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The move would mark a return to Spanish football for the 27-year-old, who began his career at FC Barcelona. He later gained La Liga experience with SD Eibar and Getafe CF before moving to England.
