Gabriel Jesus' preference is to join Real Madrid over Arsenal, according to a report on the continent.
The Manchester City striker has been linked with a move to the Emirates after Erling Haaland arrived at the Etihad from Borussia Dortmund. The Gunners have been in contact with Pep Guardiola's side over a potential deal for the Brazilian with City slapping a £55million price tag on the striker, according to ESPN.
Jesus is a player that Mikel Arteta - formerly Guadiola's assistant - is a huge admirer of following their spell working together at the Etihad. It was previously claimed that Jesus is keen on a switch to the Gunners as his agent, Marcelo Pettinati, confirmed that he likes the Spaniard's project.
