Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been offered to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City this summer, according to a new report.
The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a departure after finishing his sixth season at the Etihad Stadium by scoring a series of crucial goals on his side's run to the Champions League semi-final and their fourth Premier League title under Pep Guardiola.
Entering the final 12 months left on his Manchester City contract, the Brazil international has attracted interest from Arsenal, who are understood to have held positive talks with the forward's representatives in recent months, as well as Tottenham.

Despite boasting impressive returns when he was called upon last season, Jesus was in and out of Pep Guardiola's starting XI for a large chunk of the season and with the signings of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez, the competition for places in attack is set to be fiercer than ever at the Etihad Stadium.
As reported by Antón Meana, Jesus has been offered to both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window, as the Sao Paulo star looks for the next step in his career after another impressive campaign in Manchester.
It is believed the Brazilian's camp have demanded a net annual income of €5 million - a figure that is unlikely to be matched by Atletico Madrid but a package their cross-city rivals would be happy to offer.

However, Real Madrid's inability to add further non-EU players to their first-team squad would prove to be a stumbling block should they enter the race for Jesus' signature.
Tutto Juve further report Tottenham have presented their first formal offer worth €47 million for Jesus and are keen to wrap up a deal 'as soon as possible', though it remains to be seen whether Jesus and City entertain the approach, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness.
Having spent a majority of his stint in the north-west down the middle for the six-time Premier League champions, Jesus flourished whilst operating as a right-sided attacker in Manchester City's false-nine system last season, registering 13 goals and 12 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions over the course of the campaign.

The former Palmeiras star joined City in January 2017 and has played a vital role in his side's dominance in English football and their recent leaps towards claiming their premier Champions League crown.
As uncertainty looms over Jesus' future, Manchester City will be looking to cash in on a suitable offer for the Brazilian this summer to avoid the risk of losing him for nothing when his contract expires in 2023.
