Meknes \u2013 FC Barcelona are closing in on a shock move for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus after rapidly advancing negotiations over the last few hours to bring the Brazilian to Spain.<\/p>\n

Bar\u00e7a had initially targeted only Julian Alvarez for their attack, but an unexpected opening for Gabriel Jesus forced a quick change of plans.<\/p>\n

According to Marca<\/a>, Barcelona will pay \u20ac10 million plus add-ons after reaching a quick agreement with Arsenal, where the striker had only a year left on his contract.<\/p>\n

Final paperwork is expected soon, with Jesus set to land in Spain on Monday for his medical before completing the signing and joining Hansi Flick\u2019s squad for training.<\/p>\n

With his playing time significantly reduced behind Viktor Gy\u00f6keres and Kai Havertz, the 29-year-old former Manchester City forward was keen to leave London.<\/p>\n

Entering the final year of his contract, Arsenal were open to negotiations, allowing Barcelona to capitalize on the striker\u2019s desire for a fresh start and secure a \u20ac10 million deal.<\/p>\n

The main concern surrounding the transfer is the Brazilian\u2019s injury record, specifically a severe ligament injury he suffered two years ago.<\/p>\n

Although Jesus has fully recovered and is set to sign a two-year deal with an option for a third, his medical on Monday will be the final hurdle.<\/p>\n

Following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona prioritized signing a new center-forward, with Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez topping their wishlist.<\/p>\n

However, after Atl\u00e9tico Madrid strictly blocked the Argentine\u2019s departure, Bar\u00e7a were forced to rethink their strategy, ultimately seizing a late opportunity to sign Jesus instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meknes \u2013 FC Barcelona are closing in on a shock move for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus after rapidly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[366,92,223,3200],"class_list":["post-77985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-arsenal","tag-barcelona","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-gabriel-jesus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
