Brighton’s Marc Cucurella Hands in Transfer Request After Man City Interest
Brighton full-back, Marc Cucurella has handed in a transfer request at the Amex Stadium. It comes after Manchester City had a bid of £30million rejected for the former Barcelona man. The Spaniard joined Brighton last summer for £15million, and went onto impress last season with his attacking and defensive ability.

Manchester City Transfer Targets: Who Are They Linked With This Summer?
After pipping Liverpool to the league title last year, Manchester City have already begun bolstering their squad ready for next season, with three confirmed signings already. While you would be hard pushed to find any weak points in Manchester City’s football, they have been linked with a whole host of names this window. The Cityzens are seemingly shopping for further depth at left-back – with Fernandinho exiting the club after nine years, and Oleksandr Zinchenko heavily linked with a move away, it could leave Pep Guardiola with very few options other than Joao Cancelo. In this article we will be taking a look at the most heavily linked names, as well as some players who have quietly crept into the frame as Manchester City look to improve their already bloated squad.

Brighton close to fourth summer signing, finalise fee for versatile 23-year-old star – report
Brighton & Hove Albion are set to sign Marc Cucurella after triggering the release clause in his Getafe contract, COPE journalist Gemma Santos reports. The Seagulls have been in negotiations with the Serie A outfit for Cucurella in recent months, but it was always clear that Getafe won’t sell him cheaply. Getafe were looking for a club to activate the £18 million buy-out clause. Graham Potter’s side have finally decided to pay the fee to sign the Spaniard. Sportslens view: Cucurella started his career as a left-back, but over the past two years with Getafe, he has operated in the left midfield position with promising displays. He should fit perfectly into Potter’s plans at Brighton. The 23-year-old could be a regular starter for them from the left wing-back spot this season. Cucur...
Burnley to compete with Brighton & Hove Albion to sign versatile €20m-rated star – report
Burnley are prepared to go head-to-head with Brighton & Hove Albion in the race to sign Getafe defender Marc Cucurella, The Telegraph reports.

Brighton have been heavily tipped to sign him this summer, but it appears that they could now face competition from Burnley for his services. Sportslens view: Cucurella has played with lesser possession at Getafe, and he has regularly backtracked to help out his left-back with defensive duties. Brighton appear the perfect fit for him with their possession...

Graham Potter’s side have agreed to pay €18 million for the 23-year-old, who is currently participating for Spain at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Sportslens view: Cucurella started his career at left-back, but over the past few seasons, he has played at left wing-back or on the left side of midfield. The Spaniard could be ideally suited to the Premier League as he is good aerially and solid with his ground work with key tackles and interceptions. He still needs to work o...
