Barcelona have reportedly struck an agreement with Arsenal to sign Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus on a permanent deal.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano broke the news in an update on his X handle on Sunday, revealing that the Catalan club will pay a €10m package, plus add-ons, for the 29-year-old forward.
He added that Jesus was set to travel to Spain after receiving Arsenal’s authorisation.
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 extra year, until 2029.
“Gabriel immediately said yes to Barcelona, seen by the Brazilian as a dream opportunity.
“Arsenal authorised his travel on Monday.”
The move represents a late-window solution for Barcelona boss Hansi Flick, who has been on the hunt for a centre-forward option following the exits of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, the latter having left for Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain in August 2026.
Barcelona had earlier pursued Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez but were unable to land the Argentine due to the Spanish club’s unwillingness to sell.
Should the deal be finalised, Jesus will bring valuable Premier League experience and a proven scoring pedigree, built during his time under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and his subsequent spell at Arsenal.
