Brazilian teen sensation Gabriel Jesus has been backed by 88% of Manchester City fans after reports emerged that the Sky Blues had met his £18.9m buy-out clause.
That 88% of the City contingent said that the club should pursue Jesus, who has been dubbed ‘the next Neymar’.
Jesus has scored 20 goals in 60 appearances for Palmeiras since breaking into the first-team in 2014 and is regarded as one of the hottest talents in football.
The Citizens do, however, face competition from a host of European clubs including the likes of Barcelona and Juventus.
Pep Guardiola’s side currently have the upper hand in the race to add the 19-year-old to their squad, but will still have to convince the winger to opt for the Etihad Stadium over the prospect of the Nou Camp.
Although, no all City fans are on board with the move.
12% of City supporters think the proposed fee for Jesus is too much and the funds should be reinvested in other transfer targets.
