Liverpool not interested in Jesus deal

Liverpool have reportedly ended their interested in Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus AKA ‘The Next Neymar’.

Reports originating from Brazil claim that Liverpool had been tracking the 19-year-old Palmeiras player but have opted against making an offer because of his valuation.

It is claimed that Liverpool would have to fork out £31.5million for the highly-rated youngster as they would be unable to take advantage of a preferential clause which allows him to leave for£18.9m. A clause in his contract apparently makes him available to five clubs (Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris St-Germain) for the lower fee.

Ironically, reports also state that Manchester United have turned their back on him because they still consider the £18.9m fee too high.
