Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus would reportedly prefer a move to Barcelona rather than Arsenal this summer.

Despite scoring four goals and providing an assist in Saturday's 5-1 Premier League win over Watford, Jesus is being tipped to leave the Premier League champions amid his struggles for regular starts.

Arsenal are thought to hold an interest in the 25-year-old, who is also supposedly on the radar of Barcelona and Juventus ahead of an anticipated move elsewhere.

According to The Sun - via the Manchester Evening News - Jesus would favour a move to Camp Nou, in spite of previous suggestions that he would be open to an Arsenal switch.

City and Barcelona struck an agreement over Ferran Torres's transfer in the January transfer window, although Pep Guardiola insisted that Jesus is "our player" after his quartet of strikes against Watford.

Jesus now has 93 goals and 46 assists to boast from 230 appearances in a Man City shirt, including 16 goal contributions from 24 Premier League games this season.

The Brazil international now has less than 18 months left to run on his deal at the Etihad after penning his most recent five-year extension in the summer of 2018. body check tags ::
