MANCHESTER CITY reportedly want to raise £200MILLION in player sales this summer, with Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling linked with moves away.
Arsenal are closing in on a deal for Brazilian forward Jesus as they look to bolster their attacking options following the departure of Alexandre Lacazette.
Man City are open to selling him for around £45m as they have recently brought in forwards Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
And they could also be set to sell Sterling to fellow Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The England international, who has one year left on his current deal, struggled for minutes in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign and could be available for £60m.
Thomas Tuchel will have been disappointed by the number of goals Romelu Lukaku has contributed since returning to Stamford Bridge, so Sterling could prove to be a different type of option through the middle or out wide.
Meanwhile, City are also hoping young players Yangel Herrera and Morgan Rogers could earn the club £20m between them.
Southampton are keen to sign young City keeper Gavin Bazunu for around £15m.
And Pep Guardiola's side have already offloaded right-back Pedro Porro to Sporting Lisbon for £7m.
That adds to the £55m they acquired in the January window for Ferran Torres - who joined Barcelona.
If all the players mentioned were to leave for their asking price, City could have more than £200m in the bank to spend before the start of the season.
And The Telegraph believe they could use some of those funds to secure the signature of Leeds and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The Premier League champions are willing to pay up to £60m to secure the 26-year-old star
