Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Marc Cucurella has handed in a transfer request at Brighton.
Cucurella is trying to force through a move to the Premier League champions amid Brighton’s stubborn stance on their £50million asking price.
On Thursday, reports claimed Man City were ready to walk away from talks with Brighton due to their unwillingness to match the Seagulls’ hefty demands.
They have so far tabled a £40m bid for the Spaniard, leaving a £10m gap between the two clubs’ valuations and plenty of work to do at the negotiation table.
Marc Cucurella is keen on completing a move to the Etihad Stadium this summer, and following continued deadlock is discussions, has taken matters into his own hands.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 24-year-old has handed in a transfer request at the Amex Stadium to push through his move to Manchester.
But he has admitted the discussions are complicated due to Brighton’s demands, and an outcome to the situation is expected soon.
