Arsenal will reportedly entertain bids to part ways with 28-year-old Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Gabriel Jesus may have no future at Arsenal beyond the summer transfer window. The Gunners are ready to cash in on the Brazilian international and willing to entertain bids to part ways with him in the coming months.
However, a summer departure from the Emirates may not be on the cards due to the former Manchester City attacker’s absence due to a long-term knee injury. So, Jesus will likely remain with Arsenal for the foreseeable future, with an exit likelier in the winter transfer window.
Gabriel Jesus and his Arsenal career so far
Gabriel Jesus has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Arsenal from Manchester City in a deal worth £45 million in July 2022. The 28-year-old versatile attacker came to the Emirates with a burgeoning reputation, even though he had been in and out of the starting lineup at Manchester City before departing from the Etihad.
However, while the Brazilian international has shown flashes of brilliance during his spell with Arsenal, he has not been as consistent as Mikel Arteta would have liked. The former Manchester City attacker managed only seven goals and two assists in 27 appearances in all competitions before a long-term knee injury prematurely ended his 2024/25 campaign.
What next?
Interestingly, Arsenal wanted to cash in on Gabriel Jesus heading into the winter transfer window before a brief resurgence, which compelled Declan Rice to call him “special”, helped his cause. However, a winter departure would not have seen the light of day, as he picked up a long-term knee injury before the window shut down. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s stance on the player’s future has not changed.
However, a summer departure from the Emirates will unlikely see the light of day, as Jesus has yet to recover from his long-term knee injury. So, while Arsenal would prefer to cash in on the South American attacker, he will remain with the North London club for the foreseeable future.
So, the “special” Brazilian attacker will remain at the Emirates beyond the summer transfer window, even though the Gunners are ready to cash in on him. It will be interesting to see if the 28-year-old can secure his future at Arsenal once he returns from his layoff.
