Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has his sights set on remaining in the Premier League if he cannot secure a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, according to reports.
No Contract Talks Yet: Gabriel Jesus Ready to Join Another English Club
The 28-year-old forward’s current deal runs until 2027, but contract talks have yet to begin.
While signing an extension with Arsenal remains his top priority, Jesus is already considering his alternatives should the club decide against renewing his terms.
ESPN Brasil Journalist Bruno Andrade reports that if a new deal proves impossible, Jesus will push to stay in England.
That scenario would see him join one of Arsenal’s domestic rivals, four years after arriving from Manchester City.
Injuries have hampered the Brazilian’s impact in north London. He has made only 28 Premier League appearances across the past two seasons, limiting his role in Mikel Arteta’s side.
Since joining in 2022, Jesus has scored 31 goals in 117 games, but fitness issues have prevented him from becoming the consistent focal point many expected.
Arsenal faces increasing financial pressure to ensure squad spending delivers results. With Jesus struggling to stay fit, the club may hesitate to commit to new terms.
Despite the uncertainty, the player remains settled in his current role. He has not pushed for an exit, but he is open to exploring options should the Gunners decide to move on.
Interest from abroad also exists. Recent reports link Jesus with Italian clubs Juventus and AC Milan, offering potential routes to remain in Europe.
The forward has also spoken about a future return to Palmeiras, the Brazilian club where he began his career, though he views that move as one for later in his career.
Transfermarkt currently values Jesus at €20 million. For now, Arsenal has yet to initiate renewal discussions, leaving the striker’s long-term future unresolved as the 2027 expiry date approaches.
