Marc Cucurella's move to Real Madrid has attracted significant attention, but the transfer has also been overshadowed by reports that the Spanish defender has received death threats on social media.

According to the report, the threats were sent shortly after his arrival at the club was confirmed, causing concern among the player's family and those close to him during one of the biggest moments of his career.

The abuse is reportedly linked to Cucurella's footballing background, having come through Barcelona's youth academy before establishing himself as one of Europe's top left-backs.

Despite the abuse, the Spain international has also received widespread support from fans and fellow professionals following his transfer to Real Madrid.

Those close to Cucurella hope the relevant authorities will investigate the threats, as online abuse continues to be an ongoing issue in professional sport.
