Brighton will insist Marc Cucurella only leaves for a huge fee.

The Times says City have identified Cucurella as a 'priority' signing but Brighton are set to stand firm to resist bids for the Spaniard.

It is claimed that Pep Guardiola wants the former Barcelona youth team graduate as his new starting left-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko tipped to leave the club this summer.

However, after selling Yves Bissouma to Tottenham – Brighton are not going to back down on Cucurella and would demand a huge fee to consider his exit.
