Palmeiras Step Up Push to Re-Sign Gabriel Jesus as Arsenal Open to January Offers

Persistent knee trouble and a reduced role have put the striker in play, though his salary could dictate the terms of any exit.

Overview

  • Brazilian outlet Mix Vale, relayed by Arsenal Insider, reports Palmeiras’ board has approved a move for Jesus with talks said to be advancing and a potential fee up to £30m, with Everton and AC Milan also mentioned as interested.
  • Multiple reports indicate Arsenal are prepared to listen to offers in the January 2026 window following their summer overhaul up front.
  • Palmeiras president Leila Pereira publicly urged a return for Jesus, telling him he would be coming “back home,” reinforcing the club’s intent.
  • Jesus has been out for around 10 months with an ACL injury sustained in January and, per Football Insider, is unlikely to feature for Arsenal this season.
  • High wages reported at about £265,000 per week and roughly 18 months left on his deal may require Arsenal to accept a low fee or otherwise facilitate a Brazil return.
