Each week, the interest from European clubs in Gabriel Jesus is increasing, and subsequently, the values mentioned also increases.
According to the information from UOL Esporte, Manchester United signalled to Palmeiras on Saturday that they are ready to pay €40 million, which meets Gabriel Jesus’ release clause. The release clause of Gabriel is €40 million, but it drops to €24 million for Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. An interesting factor is that United’s offer exceeds this clause. The report claims that there’s already an understanding between Gabriel and Palmeiras, so the club can receive the highest possible value. In the event of multiple proposals from Europe, Palmeiras want Gabriel to accept the highest bid, so that the club can get a greater compensation. The relationship between the board and Gabriel is fine, and his entourage have already agreed to do everything possible to meet Palmeiras’ request.
Several reports from Brazil over the past few days suggest that Manchester City and Palmeiras have a verbal agreement for the €32 million transfer of Gabriel Jesus. City coach Pep Guardiola called Gabriel and talked with him for 15 minutes, and this was apparently crucial in reaching a deal. Gabriel’s agent Cristiano Simões has also told CalcioMercato that negotiations with Manchester City are at an advanced stage.
