Man City transfer rumours: City interested in Cucurella and Phillips

Wrapping up the Man City transfer news, rumours and gossip in the 2022 summer window. City keen on Cucurella

City are interested in Brighton left wing-back Marc Cucurella.

The 23-year-old enjoyed a hugely successful first season with the south coast club after joining from Getafe in a deal worth around £15m last summer.

The Premier League champions are looking to strengthen in other areas after the arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

Brighton do not want to let the Spaniard depart and it would take a huge offer for them to sell Cucurella, who has four years remaining on his contract.

City have announced the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £51m.

City have paid the 21-year-old's release clause and expect to pay £85.5m in total when agent fees, signing bonus and other costs are taken into account.

The Norway international has signed a five-year deal with the Premier League champions.
