Gabriel Jesus in 'very advanced' Manchester City talks - agent



Palmeiras forward Gabriel Jesus is in "very advanced" talks with Manchester City, his agent has told calciomercato.com.

Sources told ESPN FC on Friday that City were closing in on a deal for Gabriel Jesus and the Brazilian's agent, Cristiano Soames, has confirmed that contract negotiations with the Premier League club are underway.

The 19-year-old, who has also been linked with Inter Milan, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to cost around ?32 million.

Asked if the deal with City is done, Soames said: "I can say that we are defining certain contractual aspects. We're negotiating these."

On whether Inter could beat City to his signature, the agent added: "We are very advanced with Manchester City. We'll see."

Gabriel Jesus, who has been confirmed in the Brazil squad for next month's Rio Olympics, is expected to remain on loan at Palmeiras until the conclusion of the national championship in December.

Palmeiras coach Cuca has confirmed that his player had already spoken to City manager Pep Guardiola with the permission of the Brazilian club's director of football, Alexandre Mattos.

Gabriel Jesus was named Best Newcomer in the Brazilian championship this year and he has scored 26 goals in 67 games for Palmeiras.

He was due to play for Brazil at the Copa America last month only to miss out because of visa problems.

Manchester City target Gabriel Jesus set to leave Palmeiras

Manchester City target Gabriel Jesus has revealed that he is close to securing a move away from Brazilian club Palmeiras.

However, the 19-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Brazil at the Olympics, has refused to confirm which club he is destined for.

The striker, who has been likened to Barcelona forward Neymar, has been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs including the Catalans, Real Madrid, City and Juventus.

He scored 19 goals in 31 games for Palmeiras last season and was included in Brazil's provisional 40-man squad for the Copa America Centenario in the United States.

My future is almost decided," Jesus said at a press conference on Thursday.

"My family, my representatives and Palmeiras know where I want to go, but now I'm totally focused on winning gold for my country. The agreement is almost done but I'm completely concentrated here.

"Before I came here, I was in negotiations but now that I'm here, I'm leaving it to my parents and my agents. Before long, my decision will be known."

City have already made a number of high-profile signings this summer, including that of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Celta Vigo striker Nolito.
