Gabriel Jesús arrived this Monday at the Ciudad Condal airport, where he was received by FC Barcelona fans. The 29-year-old Brazilian forward traveled to Catalonia to complete the final details of his transfer to the blue and red club.
In the coming hours, the player will undergo the traditional medical examination, a mandatory procedure before any official announcement of a new signing. Only after this process is completed will Barcelona publicly confirm the signing.
Barcelona closed the signing over the weekend, agreeing with Arsenal the financial terms of the operation. The Catalan club will pay ten million euros fixed plus four million in variables, in a deal involving one of the most experienced Brazilian forwards in European football.
Gabriel Jesús arrives at Barcelona after several seasons at Arsenal, where he failed to establish himself as an undisputed starter. The Brazilian will strengthen Hansi Flick's attack, expected to offer depth and competition in the center-forward position.
