Manchester City, Begiristain: "Gabriel Jesus is coming"
Inter are in serious danger of missing out on Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus. Journalist and Manchester City historian Shane Burns met the clubs transfer supremo Aitor Begiristain on his way back from the club's friendly in Munich and asked him if the 19-year-old would be coming to the Etihad Stadium next season. Begiristain replied; “He will arrive don’t worry”.

THE DEAL
This will come as a huge blow to Inter who had hoped to sign the highly-rated youngster this summer who recently explained that he wanted to remain in his homeland until the end of the Brazilian championship. Now the Citizens have reportedly tabled a €32 million bid and the situation looks to have changed dramatically.
