Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly face competition from Juventus in their quest to sign Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
The Daily Star reported late last month that Tottenham are interested in signing Jesus.
The Brazilian striker is valued at £70 million, and Spurs could be tempted into selling Harry Kane if they get him as well as £70 million from City.
Sergio Aguero has left City, and Jesus has not really done an awful lot to show that he can be the perfect replacement for the Argentina international striker.
Kane reportedly wants to leave Spurs, and signing the 24-year-old Brazilian who would be determined to prove everyone wrong might not be the worst transfer deal for the North London club.
However, there is a problem now.
It’s Juventus.
La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Juventus are looking at Jesus as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Mauro Icardi and Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic are the other alternatives for the former Italian champions.
Now, Tottenham are a massive club, but Juventus are serial winners of Serie A and regularly play in the Champions League.
Jesus would have a better chance of winning major trophies at Juventus than he would at Spurs.
