Manchester
City are in talks to
sign Brazilian sensation Gabriel Jesus, a source in South America has
told ESPN FC's
Peter O'Rourke. City are hoping to beat a host of top clubs including
Manchester United, Real Madrid,Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to bring the Palmeiras forward to the Premier League.
Jesus is regarded as one of the brightest prospects to
emerge from Brazil in recent years and has been likened to Brazil star Neymar
for his style of play. The 19-year-old was named Best Newcomer in the Brazilian
championship this year and he has scored 26 goals in 67 games for Palmeiras.
City are prepared to steal a march on their rivals for Jesus by offering Palmeiras a fee in the region of €32 million as
well as allowing the player to stay on loan until the conclusion of the
Brazilian championship in December.
Meanwhile, is Barcelona's Ivan
Rakitic set to leave the Camp Nou? Following Andre Gomes'
arrival, the Croatian midfielder's agent tweeted "It's time to
go."
