On March 18th, we carried a report from Calciomercato, who explained that Inter Milan view Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus as one of the potential targets to replace Lautaro Martínez next season.
Another report from Calciomercato now discusses Juventus’ interest in the forward.
It’s claimed that Maurizio Sarri’s side have ‘already started contacts’, but it isn’t clear if it’s with 22-year-old’s camp or with the Premier League winners.
Jesus arrived at the Etihad from Brazilian side Palmeiras in January 2017, and prior to joining City, the Turin club were keen on acquiring his services.
Having failed to land the player in the past, the Old Lady are returning to probe the mood of their old target.
The outlet states there were contacts between Juventus and Jesus’ entourage in the past and the Serie A winners have now resumed. The Italian side are now ‘waiting for the right moment to accelerate’ their efforts to sign Pep Guardiola’s attacker.
Jesus has 18 goals and nine assists in 39 matches played in all competitions for City this season.
It’s to be noted there’s no indication if either Jesus or City are interested in the transfer.
