Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Saturday, June 25.
Marc Cucurella drops Man City transfer hint on Instagram
Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella may have dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants to complete a move to City this summer.
The Spaniard, who joined Brighton from Getafe in August last year, is the subject of interest from City and Pep Guardiola is a known admirer. Reports have claimed that he is the Blues' next 'top target' once they have wrapped up the signing of Kalvin Phillips. The Leeds United midfielder is close to moving to the Etihad Stadium in a £45million deal.

City manager Guardiola is keen to strengthen his left-back options and Cucurella, despite only arriving in the Premier League 10 months ago, has found himself at the top of the former Barcelona chief's wish list. Cucurella enjoyed an excellent debut season in Brighton colours, earning himself a wave of plaudits.
Kalvin Phillips set for start of Man City pre-season camp after Leeds transfer
Phillips is set to be a City player in time for the start of pre-season as the club close in on their second major signing of the summer.
City have already completed a deal for Norwegian striking phenomenon Erling Haaland, beating strong competition from Real Madrid to sign the 21-year-old from Dortmund. And after agreeing a £45m fee with Leeds this week, City are expected to swiftly wrap up a move for England international Phillips.
With January signing Julian Alvarez also joining the first-team squad, Guardiola can welcome at least three new faces when the players report back for pre-season in early July. Brighton left-back Cucurella also remains a target, as is goalkeeper Stefan Ortega on a free transfer.
