Manchester City are hoping to secure Brighton's Marc Cucurella this summer.
The Citizens are allowing Oleksandr Zinchenko to leave for Arsenal this week.
Given the Ukrainian often filled in at left-back for City, they will be short a player ahead of the new season.
According to ESPN, the two clubs are talking about a deal for Cucurella at the moment.
However, the issue is the transfer fee, as Brighton are seeking a mammoth fee for the Spanish star.
The two clubs are presently £20 million apart in their valuations of Cucurella.
