GABRIEL JESUS has reportedly rejected a new £90,000-a-week deal with Manchester City.
The Brazilian striker looked set to pen fresh terms at the Etihad and add a year to his current contract that would keep him at the club until 2023.
However, the Daily Mail are reporting that talks between Jesus and City chiefs have not been successful.
And that has led Jesus’ representatives — who are holding out for £100,000-a-week — putting negotiations on ice until after the World Cup.
Jesus, 20, is reportedly earns £65,000-a-week but wants a huge pay rise to commit his future to the Premier League leaders.
City are still confident he will sign but that will not happen until after the football showcase takes place in Russia from June 14 until July 15.
Jesus burst onto the scene last January and adapted to life in the English top-flight with ease.
But the £27million buy from Palmeiras has suffered two long injury spells since then and admits he is still worried of getting hurt again.
Jesus said: “You end up thinking about the game where you got injured.
“Against Basel, I still played with some fear. There are some movements when I still have fear about getting injured.”
