Chelsea suffer blow in chase for surprise Antonio Rudiger replacement as Man City prep £30m bid

Manchester City are set to rival Chelsea for the signature of Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella this summer with both sides looking to reinforce their defence ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Cucurella has been a stand out performer in Graham Potter's side since signing from Barcelona during the summer transfer window and those displays have not gone unnoticed. Pep Guardiola is now eager to bring the defender in to act as a more conventional option at left-back and rival Joao Cancelo, according to MailOnline.

The report also states that the Premier League title hopefuls will offer the Seagulls £30million for Cucurella's services. Thomas Tuchel is eager to bolster his left-back options too having been left short thanks to the knee injury suffered by Ben Chilwell back in December.
