‘Finally’, ‘fair enough’, ‘Sad but it’s probably for the best’ – Many fans react as Man City set to negotiate the exit of star forward this summer

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is set to negotiate the exit of Gabriel Jesus this summer.

With rumours continuing to swirl surrounding Manchester City’s interest in Erling Haaland, the future of Gabriel Jesus have been thrown into major doubt.

The 25-year-old forward – despite having such a promising start to the campaign – has found minutes hard to come by as of late.

He hasn’t cemented his place in the Man City team this season, with Pep Guardiola often opting for a false nine rather than an out and out striker. He has struggled this season, scoring just three goals.

As a result, the Brazilian continues to be linked with a summer move away from the Etihad Stadium, with Barcelona and Juventus recently linked with a move for Gabriel Jesus.

According to LANCE!, Manchester City have now signalled that if there is an ‘interesting proposal’ for Gabriel Jesus, then the player will be allowed to leave this summer.

The report claims that in the last transfer windows, Pep Guardiola barred any negotiations involving the Brazilian’s name.

However, it further states that at present, despite there are no ongoing negotiations between Man City and an interested club.

With a year left on Gabriel’s present contract at the Etihad, it was recently claimed that the Citizens are asking for a fee in the region of €30 million to part ways with the Brazilian international.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the fans, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts on the speculation.
