Pep Guardiola’s team needs to reinforce the left side but their first offer has been denied
Brighton rates the former Barça youth player at 50 million and has no need to undersell him
Marc Cucurella is Manchester City’s great desire for the left back. Nothing new, because weeks ago Pep Guardiola’s team transferred that interest to the player and to Brighton, his club. However, the ‘seagulls’ will not allow him to fly for less than 50 million euros and the 35 offered by the ‘skyblues’ have not been accepted.
This was announced by the ‘BBC’ from England, indicating that the southern entity has rejected the proposal of 30 million pounds -35 ‘kilos’ at the exchange rate in the European currency-, so since the Mancunian entity will have to increase their offer if they wish to acquire the services of the footballer trained at La Masia. Remember that Brighton have already sold midfielder Yves Bissouma to Tottenham for 35 million and do not need to sell.
Since his departure from Barça, Cucu’s progression has been meteoric. The transfer of him in Eibar earned him to start growing and confirmed the sensations in Getafe, already in Azulona property that paid almost 12 million to the Barça club. A course later Brighton took him by 18 ‘kilos’ and now he is called to move higher figures.
If an understanding is not reached, City have other options as a plan B. The main one is Borna Sosa24-year-old Croatian defender from Stuttgart and whose price would be around 20 million.
