Manchester City recently announced that they had agreed a deal to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
As the upcoming transfer window approaches, it seems as though the Manchester club could be set to see one of their current attacking stars leave the Etihad Stadium to potentially make way for their incoming Norwegian.
What's the news?
In a recent Twitter post from journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he relayed comments made to him by Marcelo Pettinati, the agent of Gabriel Jesus, who has recently been linked with a move to fellow Premier League club Arsenal.
He said: "We had talks with Arsenal about Gabriel Jesus, we like the project - it’s a possibility we’re discussing. There are 6 more clubs interested in Gabriel - he’s focused on final games with Man City, we’ll see."
City secured a deal for the Brazilian back in the 2016 summer transfer window from Palmeiras for a fee of £27m.
Awful news for Guardiola
With 234 appearances under his belt for the Citizens across all competitions, the 25-year-old has 95 goals and delivered 46 assists along the way.
This shows just how much of a useful attacking figure he has been for his side since his arrival.
In 26 league appearances this season, the attacker has racked up 56 shots at goal, leaving only Joao Cancelo (77) and Kevin De Bruyne (69) with more.
To highlight how much of a deadly player he is at the top of the pitch, he currently has the highest number of goal-creating actions (17) to his name in City's squad and the joint fourth-highest in the entire league.
After the Brazil international scored four goals in City's 5-1 win over Watford last month, Pep Guardiola heaped praise on the player by saying that "when you behave like him, life and football rewards you."
The City boss then added that "he doesn't need to score four goals for me to know he has this incredible ability. He will have a long and successful career."
This shows just how gutted the 51-year-old would be to potentially see Jesus leave the squad this summer.
Despite what his agent has had to say, City should have no intention of letting their attacking star leave the club this summer.
