Arsenal have reportedly placed a €30 million asking price on Gabriel Jesus as the club prepares to move on from the Brazilian striker this summer.
Jesus has struggled with injury setbacks throughout much of the 2025 campaign, missing significant periods due to fitness concerns. With just one year remaining on his contract, the Gunners appear ready to cash in rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.

Brazilian clubs circle
----------------------
According to Acritica, Palmeiras have shown concrete interest in bringing Jesus back to Brazil, where he began his professional career. The former Manchester City forward’s technical ability and experience at the highest level continue to attract suitors despite his recent injury troubles.
AC Milan have also been linked with a potential move for the 29-year-old, suggesting there could be competition for his signature once the transfer window opens. Arsenal believe several clubs will explore the possibility of signing a player of Jesus’ pedigree.
The north London side’s willingness to set a clear valuation indicates they are prepared to listen to offers and facilitate his departure. This approach suggests the club has already identified alternative attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
Limited opportunities ahead
---------------------------
Even when available for selection, Jesus has struggled to deliver the consistent impact Arsenal require from their frontline. His inability to stay fit for extended periods has complicated Mikel Arteta’s planning and reduced his influence on the team’s attacking output.
Should Jesus remain at the Emirates Stadium and see out the final year of his deal, his playing opportunities could become increasingly limited. Arsenal appear focused on moving in a different direction with their attacking structure, prioritising younger options and a refreshed squad approach.
The Brazilian’s departure would form part of a wider restructuring plan as the Gunners look to make further squad changes ahead of next season. Selling experienced players like Jesus could provide valuable funds for incoming transfers while clearing space in the squad.
Jesus retains the quality to contribute at competitive European clubs when fully fit, with his movement, technical skills and versatility across the front line remaining attractive assets. However, Arsenal now seem determined to move forward without him as they build towards the 2026-27 campaign.
