Pep Guardiola has ex-Barça players on his list

In the best-case scenario, Manchester City could “only” become English champions again this year. The fact that it wasn’t enough again depended on several factors. Coach Pep Guardiola seems to have marked the left-back position as a weak point, among other things.

At this point, the Catalan would like to readjust in the summer. Ukraine’s Oleksandr Zinchenko is currently on the left back. However, this is also due to the fact that Benjamin Mendy was kicked out of the squad at the beginning of the season. The 27-year-old is accused of rape in several cases. A return to professional football is certainly impossible with this criminal record.

In order to increase the pressure on Zinchenko, Pep Guardiola wants to sign Marc Cucurella, according to the Sun. The Brighton & Hove Albion left-back has been watched by Manchester officials since his time at FC Barcelona.

The Spaniard’s development, meanwhile, has heightened interest. The man with the eye-catching hairstyle only made his debut in the national team last year and also won the silver medal with the U21 team at the Olympics.

Brighton put almost 18 million euros on the table for Cucurella in August last year to guide him from Getafe FC to the Premier League. City is now said to be ready to double that amount. With a move to the Skyblues, the player would continue his meteoric rise.
