Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has revealed that Manchester City let Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling leave this summer to join Chelsea and Arsenal as the club did not want to "block" Julian Alvarez's path.
The summer transfer window saw the club bid farewell to Jesus and Sterling, as the pair swapped Manchester for the nation's capital. Oleksandr Zinchenko also joined the Brazilian at Arsenal, with Pep Guardiola overseeing a shake-up to his current squad.
There has since been some concern over City's decision to sanction Jesus' move, with Mikel Arteta's side finding themselves five points clear of the Blues at the top of the league. The 25-year-old has been a vital part of the Gunners' form this season, with the striker spearheading their attack - a knee injury while in Qatar that required surgery looks to have ruled the Brazilian out of action for three months.
