Fabrizio Romano: Flamengo is not negotiating the signing of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus
Despite growing speculation, Flamengo is not currently negotiating the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal, according to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Italian reporter confirmed on Monday (28) that no discussions are underway between the Brazilian club and the Premier League side regarding the striker.
No Talks Between Flamengo and Arsenal
Reports had linked the 28-year-old Brazilian forward with a sensational return to Brazil, fueling excitement among Flamengo supporters. However, Romano’s update clarifies that Gabriel Jesus is not on Flamengo’s radar at the moment, leaving room for other clubs to explore a possible transfer.
The forward is reportedly set to lose his place in Mikel Arteta’s squad following Arsenal’s recent high-profile signing of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. With increased competition and lingering injury concerns, Jesus may be available on the market this summer.
Palmeiras Monitoring Situation
Another Brazilian club keeping a close eye on Gabriel’s future is Palmeiras, where the striker began his professional career. Club president Leila Pereira is reportedly keen on bringing Jesus back on a loan deal through the 2026 World Cup. However, Arsenal’s preference for a permanent sale could prove to be a major obstacle for a return to Brazil.
Brighton Shows Premier League Interest
While a return to Brazil may be uncertain, Gabriel Jesus still commands attention in Europe. Premier League side Brighton is reportedly monitoring the striker’s situation and has shown interest in a possible loan deal. As of now, no formal offer has been made, but more movement is expected in the coming days.
