Moratti: Inter Milan capable of signing Man City attacker Gabriel Jesus

Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti admits they should move for Manchester City attacker Gabriel Jesus.

City beat the likes of Inter and Barcelona to Jesus' signature in the summer. And Moratti believes the 19-year-old has the quality to propel Inter back to the pinnacle of European football.

"He made me fall in love with football again," Moratti told Sky Sport Italia.

"Every now and again you need this new kind of player to reignite your passion and Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City is, for me, a player you have got to pursue.

"Lionel] Messi is outstanding, but it's difficult to get him. But it's beautiful when you see a player who you believe has potential by the bucket load - and who knows what great things he will do. For me, [Gabriel] Jesus is one of these."
