Marc Cucurella: Manchester City interested in Brighton left-back

Manchester City are interested in signing Brighton’s Spain left wing-back Marc Cucurella.

The 23-year-old enjoyed a hugely successful first season in the Premier League after joining from Getafe in a deal worth around £15 million last summer.

Champions City are looking to strengthen in other

areas after the arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

Brighton do not want to let Cucurella leave and it would take a huge offer for them to sell given he has four years remaining on his contract at the Amex.

Analysis: Why are Manchester City chasing Cucurella?
Sky Sports’ Ron Walker:

Since Benjamin Mendy was arrested last summer Manchester City have operated without a natural left-back. Oleksandr Zinchenko has filled in manfully for a number of years now, and Joao Cancelo made the position his own last season to the point where he was named in the PFA Team of the Year by his peers.

But now Zinchenko is wanted elsewhere with Arsenal and West Ham two sides already linked, and while Cancelo has the versatility to play on either side of defence, more depth is a natural requirement for the club.

Cucurella has adapted to the Premier League with ease and was named Brighton’s Player of the Season for 2021/22, a campaign in which they achieved their highest-ever league finish.
