Barcelona, Newcastle United, Tottenham vying for Gabriel Jesus
Barcelona, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Brazilian attacker Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Barcelona, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian international faces an uncertain future at Arsenal in this summer’s transfer window. Meanwhile, the three high-profile clubs will face competition from AC Milan, Palmeiras, and Flamengo for the former Manchester City attacker’s signature.
Gabriel Jesus and his situation
Gabriel Jesus has blown hot and cold since joining Arsenal from Manchester City in July 2022. The 28-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in the last three years, but he has not proven worthy of the outlay by the North London club during his spell at the Emirates thus far.
The former Manchester City attacker has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with 26 goals and 20 assists. However, Jesus faces an uncertain future at the Emirates ahead of the 2025/26 season. Barcelona, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Barcelona must plan for life after Robert Lewandowski, with the veteran Polish striker in the twilight of his career. While Marcus Rashford can be an option for the Blaugrana, it is unclear if he will complete a permanent move next summer. So, the Brazilian international is a viable target for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus has been on Newcastle United’s radar for a long time. The continued interest is understandable amid uncertainties surrounding Alexander Isak’s long-term future. The Arsenal attacker is thus an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the North London club will aim to add more firepower to the final third in the summer transfer window after Dominic Solanke blew hot and cold in his debut season. So, Jesus is a viable target for Tottenham Hotspur.
Apart from Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, Flamengo, and Palmeiras are also keen on securing the 28-year-old Brazilian attacker’s services. However, recent reports have claimed that Jesus will unlikely rejoin Palmeiras this summer. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the former Manchester City striker.
