Overview
- Clubs confirmed on Tuesday that Gabriel Jesus has joined Barcelona on a reported three-year contract after Arsenal agreed to the permanent transfer.
- British outlets reported the fee at about £8.6 million (€10 million) but both clubs withheld official financial details and add-ons have been mentioned in secondary reports.
- Jesus leaves Arsenal after four seasons, during which he made 123 appearances and scored 32 goals, and he struggled for game time after a serious knee injury in January 2025.
- Arsenal issued a public thank-you to Jesus as his departure further reduces their senior attacking options, and several outlets say he accepted a sizable pay cut to make the move.
- Barcelona sign Jesus as a pragmatic, low-cost option after losing Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, and Fabrizio Romano reported the club will not press for Julián Álvarez before the window closed.
