Gabriel Jesus’ future at Arsenal is starting to look increasingly uncertain, and this summer could finally be the time for both sides to accept that a separation makes sense.
The Brazilian forward joined from Manchester City in 2022 and at the time it felt like a game-changing deal for Mikel Arteta’s project.
He brought movement, pressing, experience and a winning mentality to a young Arsenal team that needed belief.
Things feel very different. Jesus is now 29 and has only one year left on his contract with Arsenal, but he has spent too much time dealing with knee problems.
AC Milan are interested in him, while Juventus are also rumored.
Arsenal have decided to sign Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal are thought to be open to selling him for around £30m, but sources close to the agent industry say his high salary remains a major hurdle for the Serie A club. catch off side.
What Jesus has achieved at Arsenal is worthy of praise. When he first came on, he changed the tone of the offense.
He wasn’t just a striker waiting in the box. He dropped deep linked plays, pressed defenders, dragged center backs around and made Arsenal more attacking in the final third.
His arrival has made Arsenal a more serious and confident team. But football hasn’t stood still. Injuries took away some of the rhythm and Arsenal evolved.
Victor Gokeres and Kai Havertz are both ahead of him in the standings, which significantly reduces his playing time.
Arsenal are reportedly considering selling Jesus and Havertz to fund a major move for Atletico Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, showing how serious they are about rebuilding their attacking line-up.
Financial aspects are also important. Jesus is one of Arsenal’s highest-paid players, with Capology pegging his weekly wage at around £265,000. That’s a lot of salary for a player who is no longer guaranteed to start every week.
Brazilian attacker wanted by Serie A clubs
Moving Jesus would create economically beneficial space for Arsenal, as they are paying their key players and increasing their payroll costs as they strengthen their squad.
There are many interests. AC Milan are reportedly considering him as an option to strengthen their attack, with Juventus also being named.
A return to Brazil is also a possibility, with Jesus having previously spoken openly about his emotional connection to Palmeiras and his desire to return one day.
Serie A might be the smart choice for him. The pace is a little different, the tactical aspects suit his intelligence, and clubs like Milan or Juventus could give him a key role. But the wage issue is real. A move to Italy could be difficult unless Jesus accepts a pay cut.
It would not be a mistake for Jesus to leave Arsenal this summer. That would be a natural chapter ending. He gave Arsenal energy, character and experience when they needed it most.
