Juventus priced out of pursuit for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus?

Juventus have been put off a move for Gabriel Jesus after Manchester City revealed their asking price for the striker, according to a report in Italy.

The Old Lady have been long-time admirers of the Brazilian international, who City have now valued at around £43m.

Following Sergio Aguero's departure to Barcelona, Jesus is now the only senior striker left at the Etihad Stadium, although Pep Guardiola did not always select him even in Aguero's absence last season.

However, a move away from Manchester now appears less likely, as Calciomercato reports that Juventus are not willing to pay the figure quoted by City.

Jesus has scored 82 goals in 195 appearances for City and won three Premier League titles with the club.

The 24-year-old has been away with Brazil at the Copa America this summer, but missed the semi-final and final after getting sent off in the last eight against Chile.
