Man City and Brighton '£20m apart' in Marc Cucurella talks and more transfer rumours

Manchester City are still intent on signing Brighton's Marc Cucurella this summer, but only for the right price.

ESPN claim that Brighton and City are £20m apart in their valuation for the Spanish full-back as the two teams try to find a transfer fee that works for both sides. With Oleksandr Zinchenko on his way to Arsenal, Joao Cancelo currently stands as Pep Guardiola's only designated left-back heading into the 2022/23 season.

Brighton have no need to sell the 23-year-old to City and are therefore in a strong negotiating position as they hold out for a figure rumoured to be in excess of £50m. It is believed that the Premier League champions have no intention of spending that much on a player who only cost Brighton £15m when he joined the Seagulls from Getafe last summer.
