The report adds: ‘Among the teams closely monitoring the situation is?Atlético de Madrid?. The club sees Gabriel Jesus as a player who perfectly fits their attacking needs. The sporting director particularly values ??his constant movement, his ability to create space, and his commitment to pressing—qualities highly appreciated by the coaching staff.
‘Diego Simeone?believes the Brazilian could fit naturally into his system. It’s not just about goals, but about a striker capable of linking up with teammates, drifting wide, and facilitating the team’s play. In that sense, Gabriel Jesus offers a versatility that Atlético has lacked at certain points this season.’
Arsenal need to decide if ‘it’s the right time to listen to offers’ with the Brazil international’s contract running out in the summer of 2027.
It is understood that the upcoming summer will be ‘crucial in determining whether Arsenal opts for a contract extension that strengthens his role or if they prefer to open the door to his departure.’
