Gabriel Jesus has addressed his future at Arsenal ahead of a crucial summer. The striker spoke openly about his situation at the club.
However, this season has not gone as planned for him. His role in the squad has reduced significantly.
Meanwhile, Jesus has started just eight games all season. Injuries have also played a part in limiting his impact.
At the same time, Arsenal are now open to selling him. He will have just one year left on his contract this summer. That situation has naturally raised questions about his next move.
Meanwhile, interest in Gabriel Jesus is building from multiple directions. Clubs in Europe are monitoring his availability closely.
Italian sides, including AC Milan and Juventus, have already been linked with a move. At the same time, there is a strong possibility of a return to Brazil.
Jesus has a deep connection with Palmeiras. He previously helped them win the Brazilian top-flight title. Now, Palmeiras want to bring him back. Speaking to Globo Esporte, Jesus admitted:
“My relationship with Palmeiras has always been very good and always will be – I have immense gratitude.
“My desire is to one day return to Palmeiras and win even more titles… It’s a very strong desire.”
However, he also made his current focus clear. Jesus said:
“I have a contract with Arsenal… my main focus today remains Arsenal… and then, when the season is over, we’ll start thinking about it.”
Meanwhile, there has also been a change off the pitch. Jesus switched agents in January and is now represented by Giovanni Branchini. That move could influence his next step.
For now, Arsenal must decide how to handle his situation. And with interest growing and his contract running down, Gabriel Jesus could be heading towards a major decision this summer.
