Gabriel Jesus Transfer from Arsenal to Flamengo
According to ESPN Brazil, Arsenal have made it clear to Gabriel Jesus that he is free to leave the club in the January transfer window. The Brazilian, however, is not yet ready to leave the European elite, which rules out claims of a move to Palmeiras or Flamengo.
There is interest from Flamengo in Gabriel Jesus, as reported by André Hernan. Flamengo wants a number 9 with more mobility for Filipe Luís and has money to fund the deal. It is not defined that Gabriel Jesus will return to Brazil, as he and his staff are still considering staying in European football.
Flamengo are monitoring Jesus, and Somo Fanaticos reports that they are closely monitoring the striker's future. However, Flamengo are not likely to be willing to invest £30m (€34.4m, $40.4m) in Jesus. Gazeta do Urubu adds that the club's board believes the amount requested is above the financial standards of Brazilian football.
Flamengo want to sign Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus but have no intention to meet the Gunners’ asking price of €30 million (£26.2 million, $35.2 million), according to Gazeta do Urubu.
Football Transfers reported that Jesus is ‘prepared’ to return to his native Brazil and has interest from Flamengo. He is ‘seriously considering’ leaving the Gunners after manager Arteta decided to leave him out of the Champions League squad despite an injury suffered by Kai Havertz.
Gabriel Jesus is seriously considering a move away from North London, sources have informed FootballTransfers, amid growing interest from Premier League rivals and his homeland. One solution he is exploring is a return to Brazil, and Flamengo are monitoring the situation. The player feels this is a viable deal because it would boost his visibility to the national team boss Carlo Ancelotti. A January transfer now looks increasingly likely, and Arsenal may be open to offers if the right bid arrives.
Flamengo have opened talks with Gabriel Jesus' camp, with reports in the Brazilian press claiming the star is open to such a move. Arsenal reportedly put Jesus up for sale after signing Viktor Gyokeres as his replacement.
Team Talk has reported that Flamengo is interested in signing Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal. After Arsenal included Gabriel Jesus on their exit list, Flamengo approached him. The club has initiated discussions with Jesus and his representatives, and it is understood that they have received the striker's approval to proceed with negotiations for a move. The potential deal appears to involve a loan arrangement lasting until June 2026, with an option to purchase afterwards. Flamengo is negotiating to pay half of Jesus' salary, while Arsenal would cover the remaining portion. Jesus has officially notified the Brazilian Football Association of his plans, as he aims to increase his visibility for a potential call-up to Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Gabriel Jesus, 28, may be on for a shock return to his native Brazil this summer, as Flamengo eye an ambitious loan move for the Arsenal striker. The interest from Flamengo comes despite Gabriel Jesus currently being down the pecking order at Arsenal due to the presence of Viktor Gyokeres and his ongoing recovery from an ACL injury. The striker's contract with Arsenal runs until June 30, 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €32.00m. His former club, Palmeiras, has also been linked with a move.
