Arsenal are weighing their options after learning that Manchester City will demand £55m from north London to sign Gabriel Jesus this summer, sources have told ESPN.
However, the figure is based on City's respect for the player - who has scored 95 goals in 235 games - but also on a desire to recoup the €60m paid to Borussia Dortmund to sign Erling Haaland.
City manager Pep Guardiola prefers to keep Jesus but won't stand in the forward's way if he pressures him to leave.
Jesus' agent Marcelo Pettinati confirmed to the Guardian last week that negotiations had taken place and "we like the project", but also that there were six clubs on the board.
