From Reliable Sources: What Do We Know About Gabriel Jesus' Manchester City Future?

A number of trusted sources have reported this week that Gabriel Jesus is set to leave Manchester City in the summer, with the Premier League champions expected to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

There has been uncertainty ongoing around Gabriel Jesus' future at the Etihad Stadium since the start of the campaign, with the Brazilian's current contract at Manchester City set to expire next summer.

Having been in and out of the squad this season, Jesus has done well when he has come in for Pep Guardiola's side but the impending arrival of Julian Alvarez from River Plate and the potential signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund have put the 25-year-old's future at City in doubt.

Jesus has made 18 direct goal contributions in 34 appearances across all competitions for the Premier League champions this season, but reports over the past week have suggested the versatile forward is set to bid farewell to Manchester City in the summer.

The news was first broken by Matte Moretto on Friday, who reported that Manchester City have put Gabriel Jesus on sale for the summer transfer window and are ready to sanction a sale for the former Palmeiras star for the right price.

It was further mentioned that Jesus is no longer part of Pep Guardiola's plans at the Etihad Stadium, which brings up the question on whether this could be an indication for the Catalan to extend his current Manchester City deal past 2023.

Jorge Nicola revealed later on Friday that Gabriel Jesus is in 'very advanced' talks with Arsenal and that only an agreement is to be reached with Manchester City over a switch to the Emirates Stadium in the summer.

Nicola revealed, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, that whilst City are expected to demand a small fee for the Brazilian this summer, Arsenal could wait until 2023 to sign Jesus on a free transfer when he becomes a free agent.
