According to reports from Brazil, Gabriel Jesus’ time at Arsenal is running out.
The Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte reports that Jesus will have the opportunity to leave the Emirates Stadium during the winter transfer window. They suggest that Brazilian side Palmeiras will have a chance to sign the 27-year-old, but the Brasil Serie A side isn’t hopeful of closing that deal.
There are doubts they can convince the player to return home; they know he’d rather stay in Europe even if he left Arsenal. They also feel Jesus would be of interest to many clubs, so they don’t want to engage in the transfer battle. Additionally, they find his salary to be unacceptably high.
A Gunner might be wondering what has changed regarding Gabriel Jesus’ future at Arsenal after reading those claims. Indeed, UOL acknowledges that Arsenal initially rejected Palmeiras’ bid for the Brazilian, but they have now reconsidered their decision. They want to cash in on Jesus and replace him with Sporting Lisbon goal machine Viktor Gyokeres.
In 17 games, Jesus has so far this season only scored and assisted once. It’s like the Gunners have finally realized they’ll never get pre-World Cup Gabriel Jesus, who scored goals for fun and lit up the Arsenal attack.
Palmeiras may be pessimistic about signing Jesus, but the fact that it is believed Jesus will be a hot commodity (as highlighted above) in the transfer market should be excellent news for Arsenal.
Arsenal’s attack seems to have regained its groove since Martin Ødegaard’s return. However, they still lack a consistent source of goals. If Arsenal manages to acquire a player such as Viktor Gyokeres, who is currently on a streak of 24 goals and 4 assists in 21 games during the winter transfer window, what could possibly prevent them from winning the league after a ruthless run in the second half of the 2024–25 season?

Am not surprised, a Brazilian international highly technical approaching his prime, surely there will be an abundance of clubs interested in the former Man City man.
But the much maligned player could return to life before then.
Gunsmoke,
The real Jesus will return before that happens😂🤣👍.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s time to move on from Jesus, he simply doesn’t produce at a rate that the club needs.
He has had his chances, it’s time for new blood.
Sad thing is, we paid 45M for him. He is now approaching his prime years, and we probably won’t get more than 20M for him.
I suppose we will at least get his hefty wages off the bill.
at the time he signed Jesus was transformational for Arsenal, in first 6 months Arsenal went from finishing outside the top 4 for 5 straight seasons to PL leaders at christmas
at the time Jesus was considered a masterstroke that turned Arsenal in to contenders which we have not looked back from
now i totally agree Jesus is not performing to the required levels now, seemingly never regained form after a serious knee injury, that is sad for Jesus and Arsenal but it happens (rather than recruitment mistake implied)
but agree it is time for the player to move on and time for Arsenal to upgrade
His experience and personality was really beneficial in building the team mentally at that time. Unfortunately for him we now have a spine and a core of players which do not need his experience, but it does need a player who can score goals. I wish him all the best.
Kia,
That’s assuming that a club will want to pay him the same wage.
If not, then I can see Jesus being quite content picking up his weekly wage as one of the best paid substitutes.
Chelsea’s Winston Bogarde springs to mind, anyone remember him. I bet a lot of Chelsea fans do.
If we can sell him at the price Arsenal value him at (?) I think it will happen. We will then finally buy a striker, who? I have no clue. Even with his versatility to play on the wing, he is not pushing his way in to the team, it’s just a natural step that he goes now ….surely.
May I suggest Cunha of Wolves who is a terrific talent and the best I have seen in the Premier League this season.
