Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus as part of any deal which would see Cristiano Ronaldo move to the Etihad Stadium.
Over the past 24 hours, it has been heavily suggested that negotiations regarding Ronaldo's potential return to Manchester have taken place behind the scenes.
Juventus are said to be open to parting ways with their biggest earner, providing that City are prepared to pay the £25m to £30m which is required to balance their books.
While the Premier League champions are seemingly ready to meet that asking price, AS suggests that using Jesus in a swap deal has also been discussed.
The report says that Juventus have specifically requested the Brazil international, turning down an opportunity to sign Raheem Sterling in a similar deal.
The Italian giants are said to have ruled out the possibility of Ronaldo being allowed to depart Turin on a free transfer.
