Palmeiras were informed on Monday that Manchester United will send an official proposal of €38 million for young attacker Gabriel Jesus.
The information was revealed by Globo Esporte, and the official offer is expected to be made within Wednesday. Last weekend, Manchester United signalled to Palmeiras that they"ll offer €35 million, but the English club had already opened up the possibility of increasing the amount to €38 million. Although this is the best offer to date, the United must still convince Gabriel Jesus. The 19-year-old striker was delighted with a call from Pep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City. Financially, the proposal from Manchester City [€32 million] is lower, but the phone call between Guardiola and Gabriel Jesus seems to be so strong, even to the point of discouraging representatives of Barcelona, who had tried to make new contacts in recent days.
To convince Gabriel Jesus, Manchester United are planning to use the weight of their tradition and history, compared to Manchester City. In addition to this, the Red Devils haven"t ruled out the idea of putting Gabriel on line with José Mourinho. An interesting factor is that United are part of the five European clubs having a discount in the player"s release clause. As per contractual terms, Gabriel Jesus has a €40 million release clause, but it drops to €24 million for Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. The entrance of Manchester City in the race has inflated the price of the attacker. Regardless of the destination, it"s almost certain that Gabriel will stay at Palmeiras at least until the end of this season.
