After Aguero, City have been unable to find a reassuring centre-forward. Jesus, once his darling, has long since become a marginal man under The Command of Guardiard. British media revealed that Inter are keen to get Jesus, while Manchester City are looking forward to exchanging the Brazilian international for Inter's lead striker Lautaro Martinez.
City introduced Jesus in the winter window of 2017 and had hoped he would be Aguero's successor. Although there were also highlight moments in the early days of joining, Jesus has long been a fringe man for Manchester City. Even if Aguero retires from the team, even if Guardiola would rather use a frontless position, Jesus cannot become an absolute main force, or even can only be transformed into a winger. So far this season, Jesus has played 19 Premier League games for Manchester City, scoring just two goals and giving away eight assists, which makes his embarrassment obvious.
Jesus and Manchester City's contracts expire next summer, with a renewal almost impossible. City are hoping to send Jesus away this summer as this is the last chance to exchange for a transfer fee. Serie A giants Inter have always been interested in Jesus, and the British "Mirror" revealed that Manchester City's wishful thinking is to exchange Jesus with Inter for Lautaro Martinez.
Lautaro's contract with Inter expires in the summer of 2026, and transfer markets are valued at €80 million. Jesus has only one and a half years left on his contract with Manchester City, and he is worth 60 million euros. Inter will certainly not agree if it is exchanged at the same price, so City will need to pay at least 20 million euros in a transfer fee if they want to make a deal. But Lautaro has many suitors, only in the Premier League, in addition to Manchester City, there are Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and other teams are eyeing the tiger. So, it won't be easy for City to bring in Lautaro.
Apart from Jesus being dropped by Manchester City, Sterling is likely to leave this summer. Although he sometimes played well, Sterling was no longer a manchester City's ace. In this case, he may go to La Liga. Real Madrid and Barca are both interested in him, depending on whether Manchester City agrees to release him.
