Manchester City are ready to look at alternative left-back options with Brighton refusing to budge on their £50 million ($61m) valuation of Marc Cucurella. The Premier League champions want a new left-back after allowing Oleksandr Zinchenko to join Arsenal in a £32m ($39m) deal earlier in the summer.

City are unwilling to meet Brighton’s asking price for Cucurella and Chelsea are now being linked with a move for the 24-year-old Spaniard.

City wanted a left-back after playing the past few seasons mainly with midfielders Fabian Delph and Zinchenko or the right-footed Joao Cancelo in the role, with Benjamin Mendy unavailable. Schooled at Barcelona’s La Masia academy, Cucurella was identified as the top target and is understood to prefer a move to the Etihad Stadium, but an initial offer was rejected.

He is understood to have handed in a transfer request amid City’s interest and missed Brighton’s friendly with Espanyol at the weekend, but the two clubs remain far apart in their valuations.
