Manchester City attacker, Gabriel Jesus has opened the door for other teams to try and prise him away from the Cityzens by rejecting a new contract offer from the Premier League champions-elect.
Jesus has been one of Pep Guardiola’s trusted men since the start of the new season and he has been preferred to Sergio Aguero at times when the Catalan wanted to play with a lone striker. His performances have begun drawing the attention of Europe’s elite teams and the Cityzens want to tie him down until the summer of 2023.
However, Jesus who currently earns around £65,000 per week at the Etihad wants more money than he has been offered in the new deal.
According to Sun Sport, City are offering him £90,000-a-week until 2023, but he representatives believe his performances and current standing in world football deserves in excess of £100,000-a-week.
The report further claims that the Brazilian attacker has decided to abandon talks on a new contract until the end of the season as he wants to concentrate on helping the club on the field.
Manchester City fear that a good showing at the World Cup could see them struggle to keep him from the clutches of the top European sides.
