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.

Former Barcelona ace Cucurella fits the bill, and could cost as much as £50m.

The 23-year-old joined Graham Potter's side from Getafe 12 months ago for £15m.

He impressed enough to earn the club's Player of the Year award.

Cucurella also endeared himself to City fans last month by scoring in Brighton's 4-0 mauling of Manchester United.

The Seagulls are willing to flog their best players... but only for big money.

Ben White left for Arsenal in a £50m deal 12 months ago.

While Yves Bissouma joined Tottenham in a deal that could reach £30m earlier this summer.
