Barcelona has reportedly reached a deal with Arsenal to sign Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus on a permanent basis.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, disclosed the development in an update on his X account on Sunday.
Romano stated that the Catalan club will pay a €10 million deal, including add-ons, for the 29-year-old attacker.
He further stated that Jesus was planning to travel to Spain after gaining Arsenal’s approval.
Romano wrote, “Gabriel Jesus and Barcelona: deal until June 2028 plus option and package over €10m to Arsenal.
“The agreement also includes an option to extend for an extra year, until 2029.
“Gabriel immediately said yes to Barcelona, seen by the Brazilian as a dream opportunity.
“Arsenal authorized his travel on Monday.”
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has been looking for a center-forward option since the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres to Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain in August 2026.
The team attempted to sign Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez but was unsuccessful due to the Spanish club’s unwillingness to sell.
If the move is completed, Jesus will bring Premier League experience and a proven goal-scoring record from his time at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola and later at Arsenal.
