**Atlético de Madrid** has established formal contacts and is holding very active discussions with Arsenal to try to finalize the signing of **Gabriel Jesus**, a center forward who has become the main target of the Spanish team in this summer market. The Brazilian is one of the **requests from Diego Pablo Simeone**.

The squad led by Diego Simeone is looking to strengthen its attack as a priority following the imminent departure of Norwegian forward **Alexander Sørloth** and constant rumors about a possible sale of the Argentine Julian Álvarez. The executives from the Spanish capital would be willing to present an economic proposal of **20 million euros** to convince the English to transfer the 29-year-old Brazilian forward, taking advantage of his contract in London expiring in June **2027** and the English's desire to cash in on him.

**Gabriel Jesus, on Atlético de Madrid's Radar**

The leadership of the Emirates Stadium sees the departure ramp of their South American striker with very good eyes, as coach Mikel Arteta is firmly intending to incorporate a new world-class striker in this summer transfer window. In North London, they seek to drastically increase the internal competition in their attack, aiming to have a stellar profile that can compete directly for the starting position against key players in the squad like the Swede **Viktor Gyökeres** and the German **Kai Havertz**.

This scenario of overlapping interests has led to very smooth communication between the top management of both teams during this July week. The "colchonero" side knows that this is the right time to push in negotiations and secure a highly competitive price for a player experienced in the most demanding European football.

**Diego Simeone's Plans at Atlético de Madrid with Gabriel Jesus**

The "colchonero" coach considers the São Paulo forward as an absolutely ideal option to enhance the rotation of his frontline for the **2026/2027** league season. In Simeone's tactical notebook, the Brazilian's immense versatility to play as a center forward or on the wings of the attack represents a resource of colossal sporting value. His tremendous ability to press the ball and his tireless physical display fit perfectly with the "rojiblanco" playing style.

**Atlético de Madrid** urgently needs to revive its attack due to the void left by the impending departure of their main offensive player. Hastening the transfer of the former Manchester City player has become a matter of institutional top priority. The Argentine coach trusts in being able to bring back the best competitive version of the South American player by giving him the necessary collective trust to become a leader.

The possibility of moving to the Spanish capital is also very attractive for the environment of the 29-year-old player, who would see a move to the **Spanish La Liga** with great enthusiasm. After enduring several demanding seasons in British football, the opportunity to work under the Buenos Aires strategist presents itself as the perfect launching pad to reignite his international career.

**Gabriel Jesus' Stats and Depreciation Due to Injuries**

Throughout his time with the London team, the striker has amassed a comprehensive statistical record consisting of a total of **32 goals** celebrated and **22 assists** provided to teammates in **123 official matches** played wearing the Gunners' jersey. However, his goal-scoring regularity was significantly hindered during the last league season due to various muscular setbacks.

During the last season, the Palmeiras youth product could only score **6 goals** and offer **2 assists** in the **27 matches** he participated in, an inconsistent performance that has led to his owning club's decision to showcase him in the summer transfer market. It is precisely this loss of prominence that **Atlético de Madrid** aims to leverage to finalize the purchase agreement for a set amount of **20 million euros** net.

The upcoming weeks of this intense July month in **2026** will be crucial to determine if the "rojiblancos" present the final written offer and if the English leadership accepts the transfer payment conditions. The Atlético fans are closely monitoring the negotiation progress, expecting that the signing of **Gabriel Jesus** by **Atlético de Madrid** will provide the team with the necessary offensive power and hierarchy to compete for all titles in the upcoming season.
