Barcelona moved quickly after their pursuit of Julián Alvarez fell through, announcing the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal.

The Brazilian forward joins the Catalan club for 10 million euros and has signed a contract through 2029. Barcelona presented the move as a way to cover the vacancy in its attacking line.

Alvarez had been the club’s first choice, but the Argentine ultimately could not leave Atlético Madrid. Barcelona then switched to Jesus and completed the transfer.
