Man City 'line-up new Zinchenko replacement' as Brighton hold firm on Cucurella and more transfer rumours

Manchester City hade made no secret of their desire to strengthen at left-back and with the pending departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko, this has become a priority for the club.

City have been heavily linked with a deal to sign Brighton full-back Marc Cucurella but due to the club demanding a fee of more than £40m for their prized asset, this has made the Blues look at other options during this window. According to Sport Witness as per Tutto Juve, Pep Guardiola's side are now pursuing a move for Stuttgart's 24-year-old full-back Borna Sosa.

The report says they face competition from Chelsea and Juventus for the Croatian defender and despite the fact that Sosa has three years left on his contract, there is growing belief that both the player and his club would be open to making a move to the Premier League before the transfer window closes on September 1.
