No Talks Between Arsenal and Flamengo for Gabriel Jesus

There are no discussions between Arsenal and Flamengo about Gabriel Jesus. Reports had suggested a loan move, but sources have denied this.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Reports said Flamengo was in advanced talks to sign Jesus on loan. Claims included that the striker approved the move and that Arsenal would cover part of his wages. The move was suggested to happen soon as Jesus sought playing time for the 2026 World Cup. However, these rumors have now been denied. Talks are not ongoing yet and reports claiming otherwise have been countered.

ARSENAL’S FORWARD SITUATION AND SEASON UPDATE

The speculation about Jesus began as Arsenal signed Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. Gyökeres signed a five-year contract with the Gunners as part of a deal worth up to €73.5 million, and he is expected to become Arsenal’s new first-choice striker according to reports. The 28-year-old Jesus is recovering from injury and won’t play until November. Last season, he featured less than planned due to injuries and competition for places. Arsenal is competing in the Champions League this season after finishing second last year.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR JESUS AND THE CLUBS INVOLVED?

Gabriel Jesus will stay at Arsenal and focus on recovery. The club will decide on his status in the squad, especially with a new striker on board. Flamengo are third in the Brazilian Serie A standings, just two points behind leaders. They will continue their season without Jesus for now. Arsenal will continue to play without Jesus and hope to strengthen their position while both Arsenal and Flamengo look ahead for more transfers before the window closes.
