BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is facing an unexpected hurdle in his potential transfer, as a knee injury is now blocking any immediate summer move. The Brazilian striker, who had been linked with several top European clubs, was reportedly on the verge of a £25 million transfer. However, medical concerns over his recurring knee issue have put negotiations on ice, with interested clubs unwilling to commit until he proves his fitness.
Sources close to the Gunners confirm that Jesus’ knee has flared up during pre-season preparations, prompting the medical team to advise a period of rest and rehab. The injury isn’t considered long-term, but it’s serious enough to make suitors pause. Arsenal, who were open to selling him to help fund other transfers, are now expected to hold onto the 27-year-old until at least January — when both his condition and market value could be reassessed.
A move in the winter window is now seen as the more realistic outcome, especially if Jesus returns to form and contributes meaningfully in the first half of the season. For Arsenal, it delays their plans to retool the attack, but they remain hopeful that a fully fit Gabriel Jesus will either attract a better deal in January or offer vital squad depth during a crucial period of the campaign.
