The transfer expert has revealed that Jesus will definitely leave Manchester City in the summer in search of regular first-team football. Romano expects more negotiations between the two clubs to reach an agreement over the Brazilian forward.
Writing in his transfer column for Caught Offside, Fabrizio Romano was quoted as saying the following:
In regards to possible alternatives to the Brazilian forward, Fabrizio Romano added:
Gabriel Jesus had a decent 2021-22 season despite not having regular game-time. The 25-year-old forward contributed 13 goals and 12 assists in 41 games across all competitions.
However, the Brazilian forward has fallen down the pecking order even more following the arrival of Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium.
Arsenal could be a perfect destination for Gabriel Jesus
The Gunners could be the perfect destination for Gabriel Jesus to go to in order to secure regular first-team football. Mikel Arteta’s side are currently short on striking options ahead of the 2022-23 season.
The north London outfit have seen two of their main forwards leave the club in the past two transfer windows. Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the club to join FC Barcelona in January.
Alexandre Lacazette was the most recent forward to leave as he rejoined Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais on a free transfer.
The Gunners have recently signed some young players for the first-team and Gabriel Jesus would completely fit that narrative.
Mikel Arteta has a strong group of young players at his disposal, which includes the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Aaron Ramsdale.
It is, however, worth mentioning that Gabriel Jesus will not have Champions League football if he decides to move to Arsenal. The Gunners ended the 2021-22 season in fifth place and will instead be competing in the UEFA Europa League.
Mikel Arteta’s side have finally returned to European competition following a year’s absence.
