"I've heard from people around City": Source reveals update on future of £130.5m-rated MCFC duo

Transfer insider Dean Jones thinks Manchester City will have to decide whether they want to keep attacking duo Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus at the club in the near future.

Sterling and Jesus look on course to win their fourth league titles at City in May, but their long-term futures are far from certain at the moment.

Having joined City in 2015, Sterling has been a major part of their success over the last seven years, racking up over 320 appearances.

With regards to Jesus, he
