Real Madrid have completed the registrations of two more new signings in La Liga, bringing their summer transfer window total to four.
The Spanish capital giants became the first La Liga club to register a new signing when Denzel Dumfries was officially added to the squad on 18 July. Now, left-back Marc Cucurella and centre-back Ibrahima Konate have also been registered, making them the second and third officially registered players for the upcoming La Liga season.
Cucurella, the 28-year-old defender who recently won the FIFA World Cup with Spain, joined Real Madrid from Chelsea in a deal worth €55 million fixed fee and another €5 million in potential add-ons. The quickly secured signing is a significant boost to the team's left-back position.
Meanwhile, Konate joined the Spanish capital giants on a free transfer after letting his deal at Liverpool run down. The centre-back was part of the France team that finished fourth in the World Cup.
The centre-back's registration is the latest in a series of high-profile signings for Real Madrid, following the capture of Denzel Dumfries. With four new signings already registered, the club is looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
At present, Real Madrid and Espanyol are the only La Liga clubs to have begun the player registration process for the new season. Five players have been officially registered in Spain's top flight so far, alongside Dumfries, Konate, and Cucurella.
The club is still awaiting the official registration of Bernardo Silva, who was signed as a free agent after his contract at Manchester City expired. None of the new signings have yet to join pre-season training under Jose Mourinho, although Bernardo is expected to report this week.
The signing of Cucurella and Konate will likely be a boost to the team's defensive capabilities, and could provide competition for places in the starting lineup. With the new season just around the corner, Real Madrid will be looking to make a strong start and challenge for the title.
Only two clubs have begun the player registration process for the new season, leaving many of their rivals still to complete the process. The La Liga transfer window is expected to remain active in the coming weeks, with many clubs still looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
The next few weeks will be crucial for Real Madrid as they look to complete their squad and make a strong start to the new season. With several signings still awaiting official registration, the club will be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming days.
