Arsenal agrees to sell Gabriel Jesus to Flamengo, but demands almost €30 million
Gunners open to selling the Brazilian striker, but hefty fee could complicate Flamengo’s plans
Gabriel Jesus may be on the verge of a return to Brazilian football but it will come at a steep price. Arsenal has reportedly informed Flamengo that they are willing to sell the striker, but only for €30 million (approximately R$191 million), which would make him the most expensive signing in Brazilian football history.
The 28-year-old forward has seen his role at Arsenal come into question following the imminent arrival of Viktor Gyökeres, who is expected to become the new No. 9 at the Emirates. With injuries also affecting his consistency, Gabriel Jesus could be on the move, and Flamengo is positioning itself as a serious contender.
Flamengo Already Knows the Cost
According to reports from European outlets and relayed by Mix Vale, Arsenal’s asking price is firm — €30 million. While Flamengo is monitoring the situation closely, salary demands and competition from Europe could make the deal difficult.
Palmeiras, where Gabriel Jesus rose to prominence, is also keeping tabs on the situation, although negotiations have yet to advance.
European Clubs Remain in the Race
Despite Flamengo’s strong interest, Gabriel Jesus continues to attract attention from Europe. Inter Milan, for example, is reportedly considering a bid to bring the Brazilian to Serie A. Other clubs are also keeping a close eye on the striker’s availability during this transfer window.

Gabriel Jesus has been in Europe since 2017, after bursting onto the scene at Palmeiras, where he scored 21 goals and delivered 5 assists in 46 games during the 2016 season one of the best individual campaigns of his career.
Flamengo’s Market Activity Continues
While negotiations for Gabriel Jesus develop, Flamengo is actively scouting other reinforcements. One of the most talked-about names is Anderson Talisca, who recently left Al-Nassr and joined Fenerbahçe. However, the attacking midfielder is now being linked with Grêmio, adding another twist to the Brazilian transfer window.
