Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is pushing the club to move for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus this summer.
Ancelotti led the Spanish giants to their 35th La Liga title before defeating Liverpool in the Champions League final during a dazzling season. However, they missed out on the signing of Kylian Mbappe, who opted to pen a three-year contract extension with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
It means he will not be joining Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, as many had expected, with suggestions that he had given his word to the Spanish giants that he would be arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu. It comes less than a year after the French club rejected a world-record transfer offer from Los Blancos for the striker, whose previous contract at the Parc des Princes had been set to expire on 30 June.
