Barcelona are on the verge of completing a transfer for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, with negotiations reportedly in their final stages. The Spanish club is expected to finalize the deal worth £8.6 million before the transfer deadline on Tuesday, pending completion of remaining formalities.
The 29-year-old Brazilian striker will undergo a medical examination in Spain on Monday to confirm the move to the reigning La Liga champions. This swift development comes after Napoli had previously expressed interest in acquiring the player, though Barcelona have now secured the upper hand in negotiations.
Jesus’s departure from the Premier League club appears imminent following his exclusion from Arsenal’s squad preparations. Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the situation when questioned by media, suggesting the player’s absence reflected personal circumstances that necessitated his departure.
The striker, who arrived at Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022, compiled an impressive record with the Gunners, registering 32 goals and 22 assists across 123 competitive appearances before his anticipated exit to Catalonia.
