I'm not gonna believe any damn thing until I see it from official channels, not some off the wall sources just trying to get their follower count up.

This doesn’t sound vaguely like a done deal for all Romano’s posturing about Cucu being unhappy and only wanting to play for Pep. All that may be true but…
“It is obvious that City will need to increase their offer for the player, and there is an expectation that Txiki Begiristain and his colleagues will do so in the coming days and weeks ahead “
Done deal that could take weeks to tie up, yeah right

Has he gone yet?

It really isn't... and he's not

Wasn't that essentially what happened with Ben White?
Done deal is probably exaggerated but I think we need to realise that the chances of Marc staying is somewhat gloomy.
Has he agreed personal terms?

Quite.
It really would help if folk checked their sources rather than coming from Twitter with empty news.
I’m strangely optimistic on this one. (Probably wrongly)
The mood music coming out of Man City has been quite half-hearted, all “yeah we want him if he’s at the right price, but we’ve got other targets if he’s expensive” - I don’t think they’ve helped themselves coming in so low with an initial bid. If I were MC, I’d want to feel I’d be valued if I made the switch, especially when moving a young family across the country to somewhere far wetter, colder and rainier than Brighton.
Could go either way, but Cucu is a fantastic player, and this isn’t the only offer he’s ever going to get. He doesn’t strike me as either stupid or greedy, I don’t think he’ll throw tantrums to get this over the line.
I just feel like Man City have done a lot of talking about Cucu, then not really matched their actions to their words. If I were a player that would give me pause for thought about going there. I could be wrong, and in football everyone has their price, but the low value that Man City seem to be placing on Cucu makes me fear that if he went he could spend the season on the bench being cover for Joao Cancelo, and what a criminal waste that would be.
Really hope you're right.
Why does my gut tell me that you're gambling on being right ( rather than knowing ) just so you can try and claim some kudos IF it happens ? Hmmm .....
Maybe you could provide your source for this information ?

Mmm. Hang on a minute. That SB article only talks about personal terms being agreed with the player. Didn’t Romano say that weeks ago? Or am I missing something here?

Say you were Cucurella and you were offered £65m in your sky rocket to play for small, insignificant club Crystal Palace, win nothing ever and live in the slums of SE25 or...£64m to play for massive big 6 legend club Man City, which would YOU choose?
Man City. Stupid question.
And it may or may not be true but that part really doesn't matter much... personal terms between Cucurella and Manchester City is probably the least of anyones concerns.
.....to his agent?
