Barcelona have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal in a move expected to strengthen the Catalan giants’ attacking options.
Barcelona have officially confirmed that Gabriel Jesus has signed a three-year contract until June 2029 after the club reached an agreement with Arsenal over his transfer. Reports indicate that Barcelona paid around €10 million for the deal, with the fee potentially increasing through performance-related bonuses.
Gabriel Jesus: “I’m happy to be here”
The 29-year-old striker has arrived at Barcelona hoping to begin a new chapter in his career. After a spell at Arsenal affected by injuries and strong competition for places, Jesus now has an opportunity to rebuild his form at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
His arrival comes after Barcelona were unable to complete a deal for Julian Álvarez from Atlético Madrid. Gabriel Jesus has therefore emerged as an important solution for adding depth and options to Barcelona’s forward line.
His Arsenal record
Gabriel Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 in a high-profile transfer. During his four years with the Gunners, he made 123 appearances and scored 32 goals.
Before joining Arsenal, Jesus was an important part of Manchester City, making 236 appearances, scoring 95 goals and providing 45 assists. He also won four Premier League titles with City.
