Barcelona have secured the unexpected signing of Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus. This news comes courtesy of football insider Fabrizio Romano.
The 29-year-old Brazilian forward will sign a two-year deal with the Catalan club, running until the summer of 2028, with an option to extend for another year. Jesus has eagerly accepted the Blaugrana's offer after finding his starting position threatened under Mikel Arteta.
The two clubs have settled on a transfer fee of €10 million, with additional performance-related bonuses. Arsenal's hierarchy has approved Jesus's departure to Barcelona on Monday for a medical examination and to finalize the necessary paperwork.
Barcelona turned their attention to Jesus after failing to negotiate a transfer for Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, quickly addressing their need for a central striker.
