‘Finally’, ‘It’s happening’, ‘Lets goo!’ – Man City fans excited as Journalist makes promising Marc Cucurella claim

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is set to open official talks over the potential transfer of Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella.

The Spaniard has been on manager Pep Guardiola’s radar for some time throughout this transfer window and links have since intensified amid Oleksandr Zinchenko’s move to Arsenal advanced.

City’s left-back is on the verge of joining Mikel Arteta’s side, following in the footsteps of ex-Blues striker Gabriel Jesus, who signed in north London earlier this month.

Cucurella is seen as Guardiola and co’s top summer target as they prepare to defend their 2021/2022 Premier League crown with Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano now sharing what he knows.

Romano says that City are finally set to step up efforts to sign Cucurella, who has been one of Pep Guardiola’s top targets this summer, as Oleksandr Zinchenko is on the verge of completing a move to Arsenal.

Zinchenko has been a reliable performer for City at left-back down the years, and Cucurella seems like just the kind of quality talent City will need to replace the departing Ukraine international.

See below for details from Romano on his Twitter feed, as he also says Cucurella has already agreed personal terms on a move to the Etihad Stadium…
