Reigning Premier League champion Manchester City begins its preseason tour on Wednesday night in Houston vs. Mexican side Club America.

From City, him.” So of course him. When I have fun I score goals, I smile, I enjoy playing football, I smile a lot.” His father, Alf-Inge, played for and briefly captained City in the Premier League from 2000-03 and Erling supported the team as a kid, often going to Maine Road — the club’s former home — with his mother to watch his father play. It is a month since the Norway striker completed his move to City from Borussia Dortmund for 60 million euros (then $63 million) to seal his return to England, the country of his birth. Erling Haaland joined in the singing and chanting by Manchester City fans as the new signing was presented outside the stadium of the Premier League champions on Sunday.

The highly-rated Brighton defender has been subject of speculation of a move to the Etihad Stadium this summer but as yet, City have been unable to make a breakthrough with the Seagulls for the Spaniard. Manchester City are still plotting a swoop for Brighton defender Marc Cucurella but only at the right price. - Manchester City are still keen on a swoop for Brighton defender Marc Cucurella

Manchester City's interest in Marc Cucurella is well established at this point, but it appears the Sky Blues are still no closer to securing their target.

Instead, City see Cucurella's true value to be around £30million and 'will not pursue a move' for the Spaniard unless Brighton accept a lower offer. Given his impressive performances and the fact he still has four years left on his contract, Brighton are set to demand a high fee for the fullback. With the Cityzens likely to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko, the club need a new left-back.

MANCHESTER CITY and Brighton are at odds over a price tag for Marc Cucurella.

But they are fit, they are training with the Under-23s and they’ll come back and join us and they’ll be fine." "This season, I thought maybe we will be all together but due to the personal situation of these players [that was not the case]. But it’s what it is, we are going to move forward and we have to adapt. It seems as though City are all in for the 23-year-old, but are supposedly prepared to walk away if there is no sign of the price meeting their own valuation. City are reportedly keen to bring in Cucurella as his replacement after the Spaniard impressed during his debut campaign with Brighton. Cancelo excelled as a right-footed left-back last campaign, but rose through the ranks with Benfica, Valencia and Juventus on the right. City have let a cluster of players leave the club this summer, with Guardiola unable to give every member of the squad regular game time.

Marc Cucurella is the only left-back Manchester City are considering signing this summer, but they will not pay a fee they don't believe is fair, ...

Manchester City will play its first 2022 preseason match ahead of the Premier League season when Pep Guardiola's men take on Mexican side Club America at ...

— — — — — That was Riyad Mahrez who was beat for that header in the box. 25th min.: Jack Grealish and Memo Ochoa go nose to nose in the America box! 11th min.: The Man City possession game is back. 15th min.: There it was for Club America in transition. While the attention was on the new players, it was old reliable Kevin De Bruyne who accounted for both Man City goals. No official word from Man City as to the reason Haaland was kept out of the action. The likes of De Bruyne, Grealish, and Riyad Mahrez are simply a class above.

Former City defender Nedum Onuoha says that Kevin De Bruyne's example is a shining light to the younger players in City's squad.

That left its mark on me and I spent the rest of my career looking to meet those standards in everything I did." If he’s doing that then there’s no excuse for any other player not to do that." "He’s running around, winning tackles and he’s one of the best players in the world.

Having been linked with a move away from Manchester City for months, it appears a deal to take Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal is all but complete.

It will be interesting to see whether the Sky Blues opt to meet Brighton's valuation of Cucurella, or move for a cheaper option such as Stuttgart's Borna Sosa. However, the left-back is understood to have a desire to secure more game-time at this stage of his career, meaning an exit from City was always likely this summer. It has become clear this window that City are keen to find an upgrade on the Ukraine international, with the club being long-term admirers of Brighton's Marc Cucurella.

Two quality strikes from winger Kevin De Bruyne handed Pep Guardiola's Manchester City a winning start to pre-season following a hard fought 2-1 victory ...

Ruben Dias has been unwell, although should return for the friendly against Bayern Munich, while John Stones is with the Under 23s in Croatia and Aymeric Laporte was left at home injured. Perhaps that will serve him well for the months to come. Grealish showed purpose, dropping into dangerous pockets, but could not escape rough treatment – some of which the broadcaster inside the NRG refused to show on the big screen. Kevin De Bruyne picked up from where he left off. The referee, Armando Villarreal, certainly knew of his existence, with the pair often deep in conversation about penalty appeals. This friendly might have been thousands of miles away from Manchester but Jack Grealish must have felt right at home.

Jack Grealish was at the centre of the drama as Manchester City sealed a 2-1 victory over Mexican side Club America.

The bid falls well short of Brightons valuation of Marc Cucurella which is understood to be £50m; Sky Sports News can confirm Brighton have rejected Man ...

You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. Since Benjamin Mendy was arrested last summer Manchester City have operated without a natural left-back. Cucurella has adapted to the Premier League with ease and was named Brighton's Player of the Season for 2021/22, a campaign in which they achieved their highest-ever league finish.

Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland could make his City debut when we face Bayern Munich on Saturday evening.

When we come back we want to be fit; the player has to be fit to be ready. He said: "Next game he’ll be ready. And while Guardiola says he won't rush to introduce our new no.

The first strike was one of typical individual brilliance as he curled in a right-footer from the edge of the box. Jack Grealish still feels like a relatively new kid on the City block despite now entering his second season at the Etihad - and there's no doubt it's a big campaign for last summer's record-breaking arrival. City are short of options at the back and their problems mounted when Ruben Dias was consigned to his hotel room on the day before the game after feeling unwell. Afterwards, Guardiola was beaming when asked to comment on how he felt the new players did, and in Alvarez it feels he has someone who can fit right into his well-oiled machine. The £51m summer arrival from Borussia Dortmund was briefly shown on the big screen at the NRG Stadium wearing a City tracksuit rather than his match kit, which confirmed that Pep Guardiola never intended to give him any game time here. Away from Haaland, all eyes pre-match were on what shape City would use given the change in personnel over the summer.

America leveled after forward Henry Martin beat Ortega and De Bruyne sealed the win before half-time with a clinical finish from a Riyad Mahrez assist. Alvarez was in the starting lineup and showed some skills as a mobile centre-forward and a couple of good connections with De Bruyne. The Argentina striker was replaced in the 71st minute by 19-year-old Liam Delap. All the goals came in the first half at the NRG Stadium. De Bruyne opened the scoring for the Premier League champions with a superb curled strike from outside the box at the half-hour mark.

City's opening gambit was swiftly dismissed, and Pep has listed three alternatives in a move that may lower Brighton's guard.

Manchester City remain keen to sign Brighton's Marc Cucurella but the two clubs are £20 million apart, sources have told ESPN.

But sources have said that the club will not pay beyond their valuation of Cucurella simply to get the deal done, having previously walked away from deals for players such as Harry Maguire, Fred and Alexis Sanchez when the cost of the transfer was deemed too high. City will be almost £60m in profit from their summer transfer dealings when Zinchenko seals his move to Arsenal, despite adding Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Julian Alvarez to the squad since the end of last season. The Premier League champions believe Cucurella's value to be closer to the £30m mark, and sources have said that they will not pursue a move for the former Barcelona youngster unless Brighton are prepared to accept a lower fee.

MANCHESTER, England — In the 14 years since an investment vehicle linked to the state of Abu Dhabi bought Manchester City, the emirate's wealth has ...

But investments in property and other ventures, and the people that enable them, also have drawn scrutiny. The report also concluded that the “traceable rental and sales income streams” from the 1,468 homes built on the sites so far “flow to Abu Dhabi interests only.” Although the Manchester City Council claims to have a revenue-sharing arrangement with its partners, the researchers said they had found “no income from the Manchester Life investment in the council’s accounts.” The researchers claim, though, that A.D.U.G. did rather better out of the deal than its partner. The Manchester City Council insisted that each of the deals — which granted the United Group’s holding companies leases on the properties stretching for 999 years — told the researchers that all of the proposals “achieved best consideration.” Yet despite a chronic homelessness problem in the city, the developers were excused from meeting commitments on including affordable housing by planning officers who decreed there was enough supply in the area to meet demand, the report found. Its construction and property boom has been outpaced only by London; by some metrics, it is England’s fastest-growing city. The breadth of that investment, though, stretches far beyond the confines of the club’s Etihad Stadium, according to a report published Thursday by researchers in England. In it, the report’s authors said the club’s owners have benefited from what they called a “sweetheart deal” with local lawmakers that allowed them to buy vast tracts of public land in Manchester at substantially reduced prices.
