Manchester City issues transfer warning over Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling deals
Manchester City issues transfer warning to Arsenal and Chelsea over Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling deals.
The citizens have issued a transfer warning that they are not prepared to let Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus depart the club for cheap this summer.
City chiefs have said that Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling will only leave the club on their own terms – dispelling any rumours of potential bargain deals.
Jesus is expected to leave the Etihad whilst Sterling is also linked to an abroad move.
Arsenal and Tottenham are in the hunt for Jesus’ signature, whilst Chelsea are the frontrunners for Sterling.
According to 90min, City will not bow down to losing the pair on the cheap – telling any interested parties that they will sell ‘on their own terms’ instead of selling on a cut-price basis.
The report states that City have offered extended deals to both Jesus and Sterling.
They have yet to decline the contract offers, although City will not expect them to sign with the multitude of other clubs interested, who are able to offer more security and game time.
Manchester City is reported to have quoted a fee of around £55million for both players.
Meanwhile, Man City boss Pep Guardiola back in April claimed that he didn’t know what the future held for Jesus.
“I want to tell you something, Gabriel is our player,” the Spaniard said. “I don’t know what is going to happen but he is a Manchester City player. Maybe at the end of the season he says, ‘No I don’t want to sign the contract’, (or) we convince him to stay, maybe he decides, ‘I want more minutes, I want to leave’. Nobody knows.
“What we have done this season we have done with Gabriel, Gabriel is one of the best. But every player is happy here when they play all the time 90 minutes every game.”
