Italian giants Juventus are prepared to offer winger Douglas Costa to Manchester City as a makeweight in a deal to sign Gabriel Jesus, according to reports.
Jesus is enjoying a fine season with 18 goals and nine assists in 39 appearances but still finds himself behind the evergreen Sergio Aguero in the striker pecking order at the Etihad.
As a result, despite insisting he is happy at the club, the Brazilian has been repeatedly linked with a move away in recent weeks, with Juventus appearing as the most likely destination.
The Old Lady are said to be after a new striker to partner Cristiano Ronaldo, due to the disappointing form of Gonzalo Higuain and after failing to dominate Serie A this season like they've become accustomed to.
Jesus is one of several names to be linked with a move to Turin and, according to CalcioMercato, Juve may offer Costa to the Blues to try and sweeten a deal.
The tricky winger has fallen out of favour this season and has only made 18 appearances but he did enjoy great success while playing under Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich.
It's claimed that Juventus are probing City about Jesus' availability and could play the 'Costa card' to try and secure the striker.
While Jesus' agent, Giovanni Branchini, recently refused to rule out that the 23-year-old could move to Juventus in the future, he did confirm that he would only leave the club if he was no longer wanted.

The question is: will Pep really sanction the departure of his darling son. Don't think so...

These big clubs like to unsettle players like D Costa. It's no fun being tossed around like a ping pong ball from Shaktar, to Bayern, to Juve & now possibly Man City in just a few seasons....

its a good deal for douglas costa an a potentialy good or bad deal for jesus cuz if jesus goes to ol lady and he falls in shadow of the sniper ranaldo its bad but if he succeeds alongside ranaldo playing every game then he succeds

It would be a very poor decision if Man City accept that useless deal. Douglas Costa doesn't match Jesus's quality and Jesus is determined to stay and become Agüero's successor. But one thing is for sure that Agüero is irreplaceable. So, Jesus must not leave Man City as it can affect his career in a foreign land.

Douglas Costa is one of th best players I know but the bad thing with him is as soon as he starts to shine, it's obvious that he's gonna get injured eventually. Last time I even saw him doing the CR7 scissor move trying to dodge a player and all of a sudden he got an injury of about 2 to 3 weeks. He's good but injuries are his biggest threat.....
