Barcelona has officially announced the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal for a fee of 10 million euros. The 29-year-old Brazilian, who arrived in the Catalan capital yesterday, has penned a three-year contract. Initially, the Blaugrana had considered a 2+1 year deal, but ultimately decided to demonstrate their confidence in Jesus's abilities by offering him a firm three-year agreement.
He becomes Barcelona's seventh new acquisition this summer, following Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, Jesse Bisuwu, Rodri, João Cancelo, and Dominik Livaković.
Jesus had one year remaining on his Arsenal contract and was previously linked with a move to Napoli earlier this summer. However, after it became clear that Barcelona would not be able to sign Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid during the current window, the Catalans swiftly secured the Brazilian over the weekend. He is expected to be Robert Lewandowski's replacement at the spearhead of the attack and is anticipated to wear the number 9 jersey.
The 29-year-old forward still has plenty to offer, having overcome a severe knee injury that sidelined him for 11 months in 2025. Upon his arrival at El Prat Airport, Gabriel Jesus himself stated that his "knee is perfect" and successfully passed his medical examinations.
The Brazilian scored 95 goals in 236 appearances for Manchester City between 2016 and 2022 under Pep Guardiola, before adding 33 goals in 123 matches for Arsenal between 2022 and 2026.
