According to a report via The Sun, Premier League Champions, Man City are ready to cash in on Gabriel Jesus this summer unless there is an agreement over an extension in the coming months.

Inter Milan has been a long-term admirer of the 24-year-old and are keenly observing the contract tussle between Jesus and the Citizens.

AC Milan and Atletico Madrid are also possible destinations for the Brazil striker if he decides to leave England as both sides have also registered their interest in making an offer.

Injuries and loss of form a setback for Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus has had an illustrious career with Manchester City since his arrival from Brazilian club, Palmeiras in 2017 for a transfer fee of €32 million.

According to Manchester Evening News, Jesus had scored 82 goals prior to 2021/22 for the Citizens but the striker was perpetually stuck in the shadow of Sergio Aguero.

Jesus has been sidelined through an injury picked up on international duty and has missed the games against Fulham, Brentford, Norwich, Sporting Lisbon, and Tottenham in recent weeks.
