Premier League
Gabriel Jesus is going through a critical situation at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, where his prominence has significantly decreased, and everything indicates that his departure in January is more than likely.
The Brazilian forward has been without a regular starting spot for several months now, and sources indicate that the London club has opened the door to a loan deal, even with an option to buy or a direct transfer.
Gabriel Jesus and the Lack of Minutes at Arsenal
Gabriel Jesus arrived at Arsenal with high expectations, but injuries and offensive changes have diminished his impact.
A ligament rupture in January 2025 kept him out of action for months, and upon his return, he no longer featured as the first-choice at the forefront.
Arteta made the decision to prioritize other attackers, increasing the feeling that the Brazilian is no longer part of the short-term project.
Brazilian Clubs on the Prowl: Flamengo and Palmeiras
Gabriel Jesus is on the radar of Brazilian football, where Flamengo emerges as the most advanced candidate to secure his services in January.
The former Palmeiras player has a special relationship with his former club, although the figures and demands of Arsenal complicate his immediate return.
Flamengo has already initiated talks for a loan with an option to buy, where they would consider sharing his salary while he fully recovers.
Loan or Sale? The Dilemma for Gabriel Jesus
One of the paths explored for the upcoming window is the loan of Gabriel Jesus, an option that would allow Arsenal to free up salary space and the Brazilian to regain playing time.
However, both parties also contemplate a permanent transfer if an offer that meets the club's requirements and motivates the player appears.
The forward is under contract until 2027, giving Arsenal room to negotiate but also requiring a solution before his market value decreases.
Sporting and Strategic Impact of a Possible Departure
Gabriel Jesus would leave a void that Arsenal has already begun to fill with new acquisitions that fit the desired attacking profile.
From a strategic standpoint, the club believes its resources can be reallocated to sign a more regular forward, justifying their willingness to part ways with the Brazilian.
In Brazil, Gabriel Jesus's arrival would be a star reinforcement for Flamengo or Palmeiras, who would see his return as a substantial boost both in terms of media coverage and sports performance.
However, the expectations at the Brazilian giant clash with economic reality: Flamengo acknowledges that the figures demanded by Arsenal exceed their usual standards.
