Palmeiras will only sell Manchester United and Juventus target Gabriel Jesus for his stipulated release clause of €40m, according to Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte.

Despite making just 25 appearances in all competitions for Palmeiras this far, the 19-year-old forward has managed to attract the interest of Juventus and Manchester United, with Inter Milan also in the race for the highly-rated youngster.




Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has identified Jesus, who recently scored four goals in five Copa Libertadores games, as one of the club’s top transfer targets in the summer.

Manchester United have also been keeping tabs on the starlet, who recently signed a contract extension which will keep him at Palmeiras until 2019.
 


The new contract also has a release clause of €40m, and the Brazilian club are unwilling to part ways with Jesus unless a club meet that amount.
