Gabriel Jesus has been one of the most talked about names at the moment. The striker will leave Manchester City this summer and is already looking for market options. Arsenal were interested first, but he has been offered to Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid. However, it is Chelsea who want to close his arrival as soon as possible.

It looks like there will be a fight in Europe for Gabriel Jesus. The striker has decided to leave Manchester City this summer after the arrivals of Eriling Haaland and Julian Alvarez. The English team wants to sell him and speed up a sale that is expected to be 50 million euros.

The first interested club was Arsenal, who are still tracking him. Then, it was his own club who offered him to Real Madrid and Atletico, but the 'Colchonero' club rejected the offer. Now, it is Chelsea who want to lead the race for the Brazilian striker, but time is not on their side.

The Blues are very interested in signing him and intend to close the deal as soon as possible this summer, according to 'AS'. This was decided after the British government's sanction has been lifted and Todd Boehly has taken over the presidency of the club.

It is precisely these administrative formalities that could delay Chelsea's offer for the player, although he has already been informed that there will be a formal offer. It is therefore unclear at Stamford Bridge when the deal for the striker can be completed.

Madrid are another of the teams that could try to bring him in, but the problem of extra-community players would cancel his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu. The club are waiting for Vinicius to obtain a Spanish passport to free up a place.
