‘Am very disappointed’ – Man City fans react furiously to Fabrizio Romano’s latest transfer update

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club will accelerate talks for Marc Cucurella in case Oleksandr Zinchenko joins Arsenal.

The Citizens have already allowed forward Gabriel Jesus to join the North London club for a fee of around £45m, but a recent report claims that Mikel Arteta’s side have now open talks over a deal for Zinchenko.

The 25-year-old struggled for regular game time under Pep Guardiola last season, starting only 10 times in the Premier League, and both the Ukrainian and City are believed to be open to parting ways this summer.

While a stay at the Etihad this summer was not out of the question, Zinchenko wants to play more minutes and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is ready to offer them.

There is still work to be done to agree a fee and personal terms, but enough progress has been made over the last week for the transfer to be seen as a live possibility now by all sides.

If they agree a deal with City to sign Zinchenko, this would see the Premier League champions step up their interest for Cucurella, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Romano adds that City are “still targeting” the 23-year-old despite a lack of progress in recent weeks, and talks with the player will enter “important stages” should Zinchenko move to the Emirates Stadium.

The news has not been well received by a section of Man City fans. Twitter is now filled with posts condemning the club’s reported stance on Zinchenko and Cucurella transfer. Here are some of the best Tweets:

“First we where moving once sterling foes, then once Ake leave now in case zincheno leaves. We need another full back even if zinchenko stays. Fab hasn’t got a clue on this one”
