Gabriel Jesus has left Arsenal for Barcelona in a reported £8.6 million deal, giving the La Liga champions another experienced forward as they strengthen their squad.

Barcelona said the Brazilian had signed for three seasons. Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022, but competition from Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres reduced his role under manager Mikel Arteta.

He made 123 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 32 goals and providing 22 assists. The club said he also helped Arsenal win the 2025/26 Premier League title after returning from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that had sidelined him until December.

Jesus spent six years at Manchester City after moving to Europe from Palmeiras. He made 236 appearances for City, scoring 95 goals and supplying 45 assists, while winning four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, four League Cups and two Community Shields. He also won Olympic gold with Brazil in 2016 and made his senior international debut that September.

Arsenal and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement for the transfer of Gabriel Jesus to the blaugranes. The Brazilian striker signs on as a Culer for three seasons.
