Gabriel Jesus is reportedly drawing interest from a number of top European and Brazilian clubs as uncertainty grows over his long-term future at Arsenal. The Brazilian forward has been sidelined since January with a serious ACL injury sustained against Manchester United in the FA Cup and may now find himself slipping down the pecking order at the Emirates.
With the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres, Jesus is expected to become the third-choice striker when fit, and that’s only if he remains at the club. Noni Madueke’s addition has further strengthened Arsenal’s forward line, increasing speculation that Jesus could be moved on in the near future.
Rival interest emerges
According to CaughtOffside, Jesus is attracting attention from Barcelona, Inter Milan, Newcastle United and, surprisingly, bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras are also reportedly keeping tabs, with Flamengo even believed to be preparing a loan offer.
While no official bids have been submitted, many of these clubs are monitoring the 28-year-old’s recovery closely, with January emerging as the likely window for any serious negotiations. Tottenham and Newcastle are both looking for added firepower in attack, especially if Alexander Isak leaves Tyneside, while Barcelona are seeking a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski.
Future remains uncertain
Jesus has struggled for consistency during his time at Arsenal but still offers plenty of experience, pressing intensity and link-up play that could suit several systems across Europe and South America. Whether the Gunners decide to cash in or wait for his recovery will likely depend on the progress of other forwards and the club’s financial strategy.
With the window still open and clubs circling, Jesus’ situation remains one to watch in the months ahead.

Arsenal should swap Jesus for richalishon
Leigh,
🤣😂OH my sides are hurting after reading your post. 😂🤣
Read he was out till Jan next year .
Another Arteta love -in signing-250k a week and a 50 million transfer that will go for zero monies .
The great giveaway club under the Magician.
The que for Arsenal much malign striker keeps getting longer by the day.
A sale of the Brazilian approaching his peak could leave eggs on our face, have seen it before
You want to keep him?
Great player when fit – but getting injured way too much of late. Availability is the best ability!
I say clear his salary off the books. He will probably do much better in a less physical league, too, so would be best for him too.
Because he is going for peanuts.
Slap a 45M transfer fee (remember we paid 65M for a neighbor’s flop who remains a flop ) and then lets wait and watch how big the que is.
Gunsmoke,
Reaching his peak you say, he’s got to play on the pitch for that to happen. 😂🤦♂️
If he’s able to get enough time on the pitch (whether with the Arsenal or as a loanee) to show himself to be the same player as before his WC injury, he may yet prove to be of significant value to us whether it be by sale or even on the pitch. Of course, there’s that word again – If.
You said it Bruised Banana,
That word IF, a small word with a big meaning. 🤷♂️
Sometimes. Like my comments.
🤣
