Man City stance on Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling transfers amid Arsenal and Chelsea links

Man City are aiming to generate a total of around £94million from the sales of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling amid strong Arsenal and Chelsea links respectively.

Pep Guardiola’s side have already signed Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez so far in this summer’s transfer window and are preparing to make major money from attackers who are seen as surplus to requirements in east Manchester.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this news whilst also updating the latest on Jesus’ ever-moving situation. He tweeted: “Raheem Sterling, Chelsea top target as reported last Tuesday. Man City want around €55/60m – approach for €25m & add-ons turned down.

“Chelsea will be back with new bid soon – as Man City are open to let him go. Man City want €100/110m from Gabriel Jesus & Sterling.”

The current Premier League champions heading into 2022/23 are open to letting both go but between £86million and £94million is the target from both sales if these two transfer operations are viewed as viable in their minds. Over to you now Arsenal and Chelsea…
