FC Barcelona presented Gabriel Jesús on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Brazilian striker, who was at Arsenal, signed a contract with the Catalan club until June 30, 2029.
In his first press conference as a blaugrana player, Gabriel Jesús responded to the question of being considered Julián Álvarez's plan B at Barcelona. "I am not offended by being Julián Álvarez's plan B. What bothers me is not playing football," the player stated.
The Brazilian demonstrated motivation for the opportunity to play at Barcelona, a club for which he expressed enthusiasm during the negotiation process. His arrival represents an attacking option for the team coached by Hansi Flick.
Gabriel Jesús arrives at Barcelona after a season at Arsenal where he had few opportunities to play as a starter, which explains his comments about the importance of getting back on the pitch.
