Brighton star Marc Cucurella hints at Man City transfer as he likes Instagram post after Kalvin Phillips deal agreed | The Sun

BRIGHTON star Marc Cucurella has hinted at a Manchester City transfer after liking a post on Instagram.

The Spaniard has attracted keen interest with his brilliant debut season on the South Coast.

City have been busy and efficient so far this summer, recruiting Erling Haaland for £51million before agreeing a £45m deal for Kalvin Phillips.

When reporting the Phillips news on Instagram, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that Cucurella is City's "priority target".

Fan account City Xtra noticed that the Seagulls ace liked the post himself, hinting that he'd be very keen to make the move.

SunSport told you earlier this week that City are set to step up their interest in Cucurella.
