Gabriel Jesus, 29-year-old Brazilian forward, will be a new player for Barcelona following the agreement reached with Arsenal this past Sunday, August 30. The transfer includes 15 million euros plus bonuses for 80% of the rights, while the player is expected to undergo a medical examination on Monday. The deal includes a contract until 2028, with an option for an additional season. 

Gabriel Jesus leaves Arsenal for Barcelona

Barcelona has sealed the deal with Arsenal after speeding up negotiations during the final hours of the transfer window. Gabriel Jesus's arrival meets Barcelona's need to incorporate a center forward following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

The Brazilian was under contract with Arsenal until June 2027, a circumstance that facilitated negotiations for the London club as he entered the last year of his deal. Recent sources had initially set the English club's demands between 18 and 20 million euros, although the final agreement falls below that fixed amount. 

Gabriel Jesus will travel to Barcelona with Arsenal's authorization to undergo medical tests scheduled for Monday, August 31. The move is subject to passing this process and completing the necessary paperwork before the end of the transfer window.

An operation linked to the search for a '9'

Barcelona had Julián Álvarez among its main targets to strengthen the attack, but Atlético de Madrid's refusal to negotiate forced them to explore other options. Gabriel Jesus emerges as an immediate solution for the center forward position. 

The agreement includes 15 million euros plus variables for 80% of the rights according to the information provided in the deal. This formula allows Arsenal to retain a stake in the player, while Barcelona acquires the forward through a permanent transfer.

Gabriel Jesus signs until 2028 with an option for one more season

Gabriel Jesus's contract with Barcelona will run until 2028, with an option to extend the agreement until 2029. This move comes after a period marked by the Brazilian's reduced prominence at Arsenal. 

Offensive competition in London had limited his playing time. Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyökeres were ahead in contention for the striker role, while Gabriel Jesus was facing the final year of his contract. 

The player also arrives following a knee injury that kept him sidelined for 11 months during 2025. According to reports published this Sunday, Barcelona has received favorable assessments of his physical condition before finalizing the signing. 

Arsenal, on their part, authorize Gabriel Jesus's trip for medical examinations, a step that brings the definitive closure of the operation closer. The transfer window ends this Tuesday, so Barcelona must complete the final procedures in the coming hours.

If the medical examination proceeds as expected, Gabriel Jesus will complete his move from Arsenal and join Barcelona with a contract until 2028 and an option to extend it for one more season.
