Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus wants to live in the present

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus said it is not the right time to discuss his future at the club amid speculation that the Brazil international could leave at the end of the season.

British media have reported City are favourites to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, which would further limit playing time for Jesus, whose contract expires in June 2023.

Asked if he would stay at City and fight for his place if another forward arrived, Jesus said: “It’s not time to think about this. Now is the best moment of the season. I want to enjoy, to keep focused on my team, with teammates, to fight for the Premier League.”

Jesus scored four goals in City’s 5-1 thrashing of Watford. “I won the Premier League with my teammates three times and I know how that feels,” he said.
