Chelsea completed the signing of Marc Cucurella

Guardiola was originally interested in getting Cucurella from Brighton. Sports Brief had earlier reported that Chelsea have today confirmed the signing of Marc Cucurella from Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Premier League giants took to their social media pages to confirm the completion of negotiations between all the involved parties. Top sports journalist Fabrizio Romano had confirmed the transfer two days ago, only for Brighton to rebuff the claims.

However, Chelsea has since posted a video of Cucurella confirming he will soon be linking up with his new club.

At the same time, Sports Brief has also reported that Bernardo Silva has broken his silence about the uncertainty surrounding his future amid keen interest from Barcelona.

Silva, who is held in high esteem by Barca coach Xavi Hernandez, admits he doesn't know if he will still be at Manchester City beyond the summer transfer window.

Despite reports this week that no bid has been made by the Blaugrana, the Portuguese international has refused to rule out a move out of City in the coming weeks and confirmed his personal stance over leaving.
