The next four months could be Gabriel Jesus’s last at Arsenal. According to the English press, the Brazilian forward, whose contract runs until June 30, 2027, is seriously considering a change, seeking to test himself in a new league outside the Premier League, which he joined in 2017. In January, neither Arteta nor the player considered any offers, but in the summer, everything could change.
In London, the former Palmeiras star has been playing a minor role and cannot afford to watch from the sidelines next year. It is true he missed much of the season recovering from a serious knee injury, but competition up front is fierce. Gabriel wants a project where he can be the main figure, not just an option.
Future in Italy? Here's AC Milan's idea:
Gabriel Jesus has several admirers in the Premier League, including West Ham, but the prospect of taking a leading role in another league is currently the most appealing. His decision last January to reconnect with his former agency, Branchini Associati, could steer him toward Italy, where he definitely has a market. According to Tuttosport, clubs interested in Gabriel Jesus include Juventus and, especially, Milan, which will undergo another major attack overhaul this summer. At present, none of the four forwards available to Allegri, from Pulisic to Leao, can be guaranteed a spot for the next season. The fact that Giovanni Branchini manages Allegri’s interests could be an additional advantage, writes Calcio Mercato.
Nothing is decided yet; these are only rumors at the moment. However, anyone who decides to pursue Gabriel Jesus must expect a top-player salary. The former Manchester City striker, who has 31 goals in 114 appearances for Arsenal, is, according to the Daily Mail, among the 10 highest-paid players in the Premier League, earning £265,000 per week, which amounts to around €14 million per year before taxes. His transfer fee would be roughly €20 million.
