According to several media, an agreement has been reached with Marc Cucurella for him to become a Manchester City player in the coming days.
The start of the transfer window was lively for Manchester City, to say the least. There was the arrival of Julian Alvarez, completed earlier in the season, but who will land in early July, but especially Erling Haaland, who needs no introduction. Two quality offensive reinforcements which bode well for the Citizens… But Pep Guardiola knows it, if he finally wants to go all the way in Europe, other sectors will have to be strengthened.
For weeks now, the English media have been talking about the name of Kalvin Phillips to strengthen the environment. An affordable operation for the champions of England, since Leeds should not put too many obstacles and if 60 million euros are put on the table, the Three Lions player will join the Etihad Stadium. The other goal, for the defense, is none other than Marc Cucurella.
A former Barça for Guardiola
The La Masia-trained left-back is coming off a hell of a season at Brighton, and according to daily reports AS and the English press, an agreement has been reached with the 23-year-old Spaniard. All that remains is to agree with Brighton, which should not be a major difficulty since the two English teams are also close to agreeing around an amount of around 35 million euros.
Trained at FC Barcelona and arrived from Getafe, Cucurella quickly adapted to the Premier League and displayed all his talent and qualities on the offensive sequences in particular. He thus caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, particularly a fan of the sides capable of participating in the creation of the game and of projecting themselves into the last meters. Another nice gift for the Catalan…
