Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the Premier League champions are interested in KRC Genk left-back, Gerardo Arteaga.
With Oleksandr Zinchenko gone to Arsenal, Manchester City will be in the market for another left-back this summer.
Manchester City and Guardiola have reportedly identified Brighton & Hove Albion’s Marc Cucurella’s as their preferred replacement.
As it stands, though, it appears that City have little intention of meeting Brighton’s asking price, said to be in the region of £50m, and are reportedly looking at other options.
According to TUDN journalist Luis Omar Tapia as relayed by Sport Witness, the Citizens are now interested in signing Gerardo Arteaga, who plays for Belgian side KRC Genk.
However, the report don’t seem to have any information on how advanced are the talks for the Mexican fullback, who had already been linked to Premier League sides Brighton, Fulham and Leeds United this summer.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“Okay looks like Cucu ain’t gonna happen. Can’t even pay 50m from player sales. Embarrassing.”

“Not a serious club. There’s only one position left to fill and we need it urgently considering zinchenko is gone and we aren’t paying?.”
