Manchester City 'close in on £60m swoop for Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus'

Manchester City are reportedly close to completing the signings of Schalke 04 attacker Leroy Sane and Palmeiras forward Gabriel Jesus.

The two-time Premier League champions are believed to be willing to spend in excess of £60m on the pair.

City have reportedly been in talks with Schalke over a deal for Sane for some time, and even though the German club are trying to squeeze €50m (£42m) out of the English outfit, there is confidence that a deal will be completed.

According to The Telegraph, City could spend around £40m for Sane with add-ons, while an agreement with Palmeiras for Brazil Under-23 striker Jesus is believed to be edging closer.

The report adds that Jesus, who has been linked to Juventus, Barcelona and Manchester United, has been priced at close to £26m.
