Manchester City have set their sights on an alternative option to Marc Cucurella if the Premier League champions are unable to do business with Brighton this summer, according to reports.
After winning a fourth title in five years, Pep Guardiola has opted to freshen up his star-studded squad this summer. Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips have been welcomed on board, as well as goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.
However, with Ukraine defender Oleksandr Zinchenko among those to leave the Etihad Stadium — after he signed a deal to join Arsenal — there is room in the budget for a new left-back. Cucurella, 24, remains the priority target there, but City have already seen one approach for the Spanish international rejected by the Seagulls.
