Gabriel Jesus and Arsenal had already forwarded the agreement a few weeks ago, and the official announcement of the player’s signing should be made at any time.
Gabriel Jesus is practically a player Arsenal! According to information from the “UOL” portal, the Gunners closed the contract for the Brazilian, coming from Manchester City, for 45 million pounds, around R$ 290 million to be paid in cash. It is worth remembering that the British had already forwarded the agreement between the parties in recent days.
Now, they have managed to define the full deal with the striker, signing a five-year contract in a multimillion-dollar deal that owes Gabriel Jesus one of the highest salaries in Arsenal’s squad. Thus, the publication also highlights that the player travels between this Tuesday, the 28th, and Wednesday, the 29th, for exams, signing and the start of the pre-season at the new club.

As one of the main teams in the fight to sign the player, Arsenal outperformed the competition from clubs such as Chelsea and tottenham, among others, to close with the 25-year-old striker. It is worth noting that if the agreement remains in this form, the palm trees will earn around £3.1 million, something around £20 million.
This is because the Alviverde club is entitled to approximately 7.1% of the total value of transactions involving the player’s name in the Mercado da Bola, with 5% being on the part of economic rights and 2.09% on account of the mechanism of solidarity for being the training club.
At first, Manchester City were asking for a higher price to sell Gabriel Jesus, but talks with Arsenal were on the way to at least €50m. The bond valid until June 2023 did not give much scope for higher values until the end of the contract.
Furthermore, the arrival of Erling Haalandof Borussia Dortmund, to the Manchester City squad was also a factor that contributed to the advances in the negotiation, due to the space that Gabriel Jesus would lose in the squad and also due to financial fair play. As he was already determined to have more minutes on the pitch and more opportunities, the transfer was already taken for granted.
