Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have reached an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion left-back Marc Cucurella.
Cucurella is a priority target for Pep Guardiola, who wants to add a new left-back to his Manchester City squad this summer.
Pep Guardiola’s side have already failed with a bid of £30m, which is some way away from Brighton’s £50m valuation of the defender.
Nevertheless, while the two clubs continue to negotiate and hold talks, a new development has signalled an advancement in the proposed transfer.
According to the information of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City now have an agreement in place with Brighton’s Marc Cucurella on personal terms.
Furthermore, Romano highlights that Cucurella is not happy with the ongoing situation and really wants a move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
In full, Fabrizio Romano explained on the latest episode of the ‘Here We Go’ podcast, “I am told that the player is not happy. The player really wants this move to Manchester City.
“He joined Brighton dreaming of a top English club one day and when Pep Guardiola called him, he only wanted this move to Manchester City.”
This report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters, who have been sharing their thoughts and opinions.
