According to the report of GOAL, representatives of Gabriel Jesus are in talks with Arsenal, for a possible transfer of the Brazilian in the summer. Mikel Arteta's team is hoping to bring the Manchester City striker to the Emirates, as he is looking for options to boost the attack for next season.
Jesus is looking for a team where he can be activated as a starter, as the Brazilian has lost this role at City. Gabriel has been active in 24 matches at Premier League during this season, but in only 17 of them has played as a starter. The striker is entering his last year of contract with the "citizens" and City executives must quickly decide on his fate. On the contrary, the club risks losing talent at zero cost, in a second moment.
Fantastic performances against Watford in the league, and Real Madrid in the Champions League may have changed the mind of coach Guardiola, for the role of Jesus in the team. But that has not stopped the player's agent from negotiating with Arsenal technical director Edu for a possible deal.
The interest that Pep Guardiola and City executives have shown in Dortmund star Erling Haaland may have influenced the fact that Jesus is considering other options in the summer. If Haaland's transfer to the Etihad becomes official Gabriel will find it even harder to find space.
The footballer himself has refused to comment on his future, saying that now is not the right moment. After being asked by reporters he stated:
"I think this is not the time to talk about it. "Now is the best moment of the season and I want to enjoy it, focus on the team and help my teammates win the Premier League."
