Man City to hand Gabriel Jesus new contract

Manchester City are ready to hand Gabriel Jesus a new contract.

The Sun says City are poised to hand Gabriel a new deal worth £120,000-per-week to block mounting interest from Juventus.

Etihad bosses are confident they can also persuade the £100m-rated forward to extend his current contract - which still has three years left to run.

But it could yet depend on whether the Citizens are successful in overturning the two-year Champions League ban imposed by UEFA for allegedly flouting Financial Fair Play rules.

The Manchester giants have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Guardiola's side want a quick decision for a variety of reasons, including where some of their biggest star names will stand over their own club futures.
