Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has been offered to the Madrid giants of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid
Arsenal have been handed a fresh transfer blow with the main target Gabriel Jesus reportedly being offered to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Arsenal have been hot on the heels of the Manchester City striker and these reports will be a big setback.
The Gunners have been leading the race to sign the Brazilian but it is understood that he might be tempted to go to either of the Madrid clubs that are offering Champions League football.
Anton Meana, a reputable journalist for Cadena Ser, says that Jesus wants a salary of 4.3 million euros per year after tax. Atletico Madrid are looking for a new striker with the exit of Luis Suarez while Real Madrid are on the hunt for replenishments with the exits of Isco Alcoron and Gareth Bale.
The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has forged a wonderful working relationship with the 25-year-old during his days as Manchester City’s assistant coach. Arsenal is ready to offer Jesus the lead striker mantle with the exit of Alexandre Lacazette confirmed.
The reports further details that the London club are ready to offer a weekly wage of 190,000 euros in what will be a big step up from what he is currently earning at City. His chances to play in Pep Guardiola’s side will be limited with the arrival of teenage sensation Erling Haaland.
