Barcelona move to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal – Report

n n

Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus on a permanent transfer.

n

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, announced the development in an update on his X handle on Sunday.

n

Romano said the Catalan club will pay a €10m package plus add-ons for the 29-year-old forward.

n

He added that Jesus was scheduled to travel to Spain after receiving Arsenal’s authorisation.

n

Romano wrote, “Gabriel Jesus and Barcelona, deal until June 2028 plus option and package over €10m to Arsenal.

n

“The agreement also includes an option to extend for extra year, until 2029.

n

“Gabriel immediately said yes to Barcelona, seen by the Brazilian as a dream opportunity.

n

“Arsenal authorised his travel on Monday.”

n

The deal comes as a late-window solution for Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who has sought a centre-forward option following the departure of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, who left for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain in August 2026.

n

The club had pursued Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez but was unable to secure the Argentine due to the Spanish club’s reluctance to sell.

n

If the deal goes through, Jesus will bring Premier League experience and a proven goalscoring record from his time under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and subsequent years at Arsenal.
