Manchester City fans have been responding on Twitter to the latest reported transfer news surrounding striker Gabriel Jesus.
This comes after City fan Twitter account @City_Chief shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in an article by Calciomercato.
The article claimed that Italian side Juventus could use Brazilian winger Douglas Costa in exchange for City striker Jesus.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from City fans who were not happy with this reported development.
Here’s a sample of City fans responding to the post:

How about no?

Makes zero sense, Jesus isn’t going anywhere

We lose our younger striker ( a position we really don’t have much depth in ) in exchange for a 29 year old winger? ( probably the one position we don’t need reinforcements in ) Doesn’t make sense.

Would you want City to swap Jesus for Douglas Costa?
Yes
No
Since arriving at the Manchester club in January 2017, Jesus has gone on to score 63 goals and provide 25 assists in 139 appearances for the club (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that Juventus would be willing to include their Brazilian winger Costa in a possible deal for Jesus, this news has sparked a big reaction from City fans on Twitter.
We’re finished if this deal goes through

Jesus should stay ! He is so important for us the way he presses, he is technical and a good header

What do we think?
It appears that not only do these fans not want Costa to swap Turin for Manchester, but they also don’t want to see Jesus leave the club. This shows just how much belief they have in the striker to stay at the club and continue to grow.
