A Chelsea star let it slip that he has already written a new deal at Stamford Bridge after their 5-1 routes against West Ham on Friday.
Faced with a London rival for the second consecutive week, the blues bounced back from a matte 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace during the opening weekend to achieve their first victory of the new Premier League season.
Prior to the competition there were reports that Marc Cucurella had signed a new contract, whereby his current deal will expire in 2028.
Although there was no official announcement about such an agreement, Cucurella went public with the information on Friday.
When he was asked about it by the Spanish media at the London Stadium, the 27-year-old said, “Yes, it's done. We have already done it.
'I am very happy, the club has given me the confidence and I am very happy to be here. Hopefully I have a great year. '
There were rumors that Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr was in Cucurella, but the Spaniard brought it to bed.
Cucurella signed in August 2022 for Chelsea from Brighton for a fee of up to £ 63 million, one of the most expensive transfers for a complete back in the Premier League history.
He joined a six-year contract after he was impressed by Brighton in the 2021-22 season, where he won the Club's Player of the Season Award.
The Spaniard has now collected 115 performances for Chelsea since his arrival and is becoming a reliable figure despite early struggles when he arrived at the club.
In the 2024-25 campaign, Cucurella made 54 performances in all competitions and this summer was a key figure in Chelsea's Club World Cup triumph.
At international level, Cucurella has earned 17 caps for Spain since he made his senior debut in 2021.
He granted the assist to Mikel Oyarzabal for the winning goal of his country when Spain defeated England in the Euro 2024 final, where Cucurella was mentioned in the team of the tournament.
