Arsenal Open to January Exit for Gabriel Jesus as ACL Layoff Continues
Fresh reports suggest a January move is being explored, reflecting Arsenal’s reshaped attack after summer signings.
Overview
- ESPN Brasil-linked reports, echoed by UK outlets, claim Arsenal are willing to sanction a January departure for Gabriel Jesus.
- Football365 cites reporter Andre Hernan saying Flamengo is an option but that Jesus currently prefers to remain in Europe.
- Palmeiras interest has been reiterated, with prior public overtures noted, though no formal agreement has been announced.
- Jesus has not played this season after a January 2025 ACL rupture and surgery, and Gooner Daily reports no confirmed return date.
