Agent: 'Juventus, Bayern Munich want Gabriel Jesus'

The agent of Palmeiras striker Gabriel Jesus has claimed that both Juventus and Bayern Munich are interested in signing his client.

Gabriel, 19, has netted 11 goals in 20 appearances for his Brazilian club this season and it is understood that a host of top-level European clubs want to sign the teenager.

According to Christian Simoes, Juventus "have scouted Gabriel", while Bayern "have taken steps" to register their interest in a player that has also scored three times in four appearances for Brazil's Under-23 team.

"Juventus have scouted Gabriel, I can confirm that. Bayern Munich have taken steps too, they're another big club that is interested in Gabriel. Both have made moves, but there hasn't been an official offer from either Bayern Munich or Juventus," Simoes told Calciomercato.

"I've read a lot of rumours, but we're waiting for real offers and then we'll see, because for Palmeiras it'd be worth a lot. Would he like Juventus? They're one of the world's top clubs, who wouldn't? The same for Bayern Munich, they're fantastic teams. We'll wait for offers and see what happens though."

In all, Gabriel has netted 20 goals in 60 first-team appearances for Palmeiras.
