juan jesusjuan jesusWatford fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking forward to the summer transfer window as it has emerged they could break their record transfer fee.

According to WD Sports, the Hornets could make Inter Milan’s Juan Jesus the most expensive player in the club’s history.

Fans in the Tavern are facing an uncertain future following the departure of Quique Sanchez Flores, but Watford are determined to set the tone for next season by doing whatever it takes to sign Jesus from the San Siro.

The Brazilian defender is also wanted by European heavyweights Besiktas and Marseille, but the Hornets are confident they can tempt him to play at Vicarage Road.

New boss Walter Mazzarri has previously worked with the 24-year-old, which stands them in good stead heading into negotiations.

Watford are desperate to add defensive reinforcements to their squad in the coming transfer window and they have also previously linked with Raul Albiol.

A plethora of Watford fans over by the pool table here in the Transfer Tavern are incredibly excited about this news, and would love to see Mazzarri secure a deal for Jesus!

Watford fans. Do you think it is important you land Juan Jesus this summer at whatever price? Let us know your thoughts below.
