Gabriel Jesus confirmed on Friday that he was close to leaving Palmeiras, and Globoesporte has since reported that City have won the race to land the teenage forward.

Of the €32m City will reportedly pay out, €20m will go to the Brazilian’s current club, with the other €12m distributed to agents.

The 19-year-old will also see out the year at Palmeiras, who top the Campeonato Brasileiro after 16 rounds, before joining up with Pep Guardiola’s side next January.
