Barcelona has agreed to sign Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal for approximately 10 million euros. The player was present at Camp Nou on Monday during a match against Rayo Vallecano and is expected to be officially announced on Tuesday. Gabriel Jesus joins the Spanish club following ten seasons in England, including six at Manchester City and four at Arsenal, though his last two seasons were significantly impacted by injuries.

Coach Hansi Flick described Jesus as a high level attacker who will fit the team's style of play. Flick noted that while the player had previous injuries, he is currently physically well and expressed some surprise at the opportunity. The transfer was managed by sporting director Deco. While one report focuses on the strategic importance of the signing to fill the void left by Lewandowski, another report frames the move as the final piece of the puzzle, stating that the club does not expect further signings.
