FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Man city and brighton 20m apart in marc cucurella talks and more transfer rumours | History Defined

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.
