FC Barcelona sign striker from Arsenal for 10 million

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Arsenal over the transfer of winger Gabriel Jesus. Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported the deal on X on Sunday with his trademark "here we go".

Romano says Arsenal will receive €10 million for the sale of the Brazilian forward. That fee could rise through bonuses. The medical is scheduled for Monday.

Arsenal have given Gabriel Jesus permission to travel to Barcelona and complete the transfer. According to Mundo Deportivo, he will sign a two-year deal with the Spanish champions, with the option of a third year.

For some time, head coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco had been looking for a player with Gabriel Jesus's profile. They have now got their man, with the forward on his way to Spotify Camp Nou.

This summer, Barcelona parted company with Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford. Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi have filled those vacant spots, and Gabriel Jesus will probably do the same.

Back in 2022, Arsenal paid more than €50 million for Gabriel Jesus after his spell at Manchester City. Last season he won the league title with the London club.

For a while now, Gabriel Jesus has been linked with a move away from Arsenal after the club brought in Christos Tzolis to strengthen the attack. The Brazilian still has one year left on his deal with the reigning league champions.
