Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Barcelona have signed Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal on a three-year contract, the clubs said.
  • British media reported a fee of about £8.6 million ($11.5 million), although the clubs did not disclose financial details.
  • Jesus leaves Arsenal after four seasons, while Barcelona have now made six signings during the transfer window.

Gabriel Jesus has joined Barcelona from Arsenal on a three-year contract, giving the Spanish champions another attacking option and ending the Brazilian forward’s four-season spell in north London.

The clubs did not disclose the transfer fee, although British media reported that Barcelona paid about £8.6 million ($11.5 million) for the 29-year-old. Jesus becomes Barcelona’s sixth signing of the transfer window, following Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, Rodri, Joao Cancelo and goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

The move comes as Barcelona continue to be linked with Atlético Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. Atlético have been unwilling to sell the Argentina international to their domestic rivals, adding another layer to Barcelona’s attacking plans.

Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 and made 123 appearances in all competitions, scoring 32 goals. He played 27 times during Arsenal’s Premier League title-winning campaign last season, but later fell behind Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres in the attacking pecking order.

Before moving to Arsenal, Jesus spent six years at Manchester City, winning four Premier League titles. He scored 95 goals in 236 appearances for the club and finished his English career with more than 200 Premier League appearances and over 70 league goals. Arsenal also announced midfielder Fabio Vieira’s departure to German club Hamburg.
