Barcelona is monitoring the status of 28-year-old Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus as they strategize for a transition following Lewandowski's tenure. The club is reportedly interested in Jesus despite his recent injury challenges. Sources familiar with the situation have indicated that Barcelona, among other European clubs, has initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer. Although formal offers have not yet been made, it is expected that negotiations could speed up once Jesus's medical condition is more clearly understood. The timing of any potential deal remains uncertain, with the January transfer window being considered a more likely period for a move. Jesus is currently contracted with his existing club until June 30, 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €32.00m.
