Chelsea are very interested in the signing of Gabriel Jesus, according to Diario AS.
New owner Todd Bohley wants to make the Brazilian his first signing in west London.
The Blues have joined the list of clubs trying to sign the striker which includes; Arsenal, Spurs and Real Madrid.
Jesus is set to leave City this summer following the arrival of Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez.

Chelsea have informed the striker that they are going to make a formal offer to sign him.
The two-time European champions are just waiting for their restrictions on transfer offers to be lifted before trying to close a deal.
However, this could hand them a disadvantage in the race to land him, with Spurs and Arsenal also circling.
Both London clubs are also closely following the player and could swoop in before Chelsea are able to make their move.
Raheem Sterling offered to Madrid

Meanwhile, Man City have also been offering around Raheem Sterling.
The 27-year-old, like Jesus, could have a lack of opportunities next season due to the club’s new arrivals.
AS report that Real Madrid have been presented with the chance to sign the winger.
However, for now, he does not fit into their plans.
