Barcelona are preparing a shock move for Manchester City dazzler Gabriel Jesus.
Frustrated with Antoine Griezmann’s decision to stick with Atletico Madrid, Barca are now seeking an alternative attacking signing – and their search has led to Gabriel.
AS says coach Ernesto Valverde and new football chief Eric Abidal are in agreement over Gabriel’s qualities and his potential to fit into Barca’s playing system.
However, while they have the cash power to sign the Brazil international, any chance of Barca convincing City to sell will depend on the player forcing the move to happen from his end.
The 21 year-old is about to enter his second full season with City.
