Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club could demand a fee of €50 million for Gabriel Jesus after the striker’s impressive late-season form.
There has been increasing speculation over the past week about Jesus’ future at City — with the Brazilian reportedly wanting to leave to get a regular starting berth elsewhere.
With Erling Haaland coming to City, that surely means Jesus is likely to be available as it would threaten his place in Pep Guardiola’s pecking order.
The Brazilian will enter the final year of his contract next season and City could sell this summer to avoid losing such a saleable asset for free.
According to Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte, Man City have set their valuation of Gabriel Jesus at €60M(£51.2m) this summer. Depending on the direction of negotiations, City are open to dropping down to €50M(£42.7m).
The outlet reaffirms Jesus is a ‘strong target’ for Arsenal and talks between all camps are said to be ‘ongoing’.
Several fans have been sceptical about whether Pep Guardiola’s side will actually let Jesus go in the upcoming summer, considering the striker’s impressive late-season form.
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.
