Arsenal are preparing to move Gabriel Jesus out on loan, with sporting director Andrea Berta offering the striker to clubs in the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga. The forward has slipped down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order and wants regular minutes ahead of the January window.
Loan proposal put forward for Gabriel Jesus
Berta has made initial approaches to a number of clubs, proposing a deal that would see Jesus leave on a free loan with his full salary covered. The structure is designed to find a quick solution, ensuring Arsenal reduce squad congestion while giving the player the chance to revive his form elsewhere.
As it stands, nothing concrete has been agreed. Talks remain exploratory, but Arsenal are willing to accelerate the process if a serious suitor emerges before the end of the window.
Gabriel Jesus pushing for game time
Jesus is open to the idea of leaving on loan. After arriving from Manchester City in 2022, he played a vital role in Arsenal’s resurgence but has since struggled with injuries and inconsistency. With Viktor Gyökeres now leading the line and Kai Havertz also an option through the middle, the Brazilian is eager to secure game time elsewhere.
Sources indicate that the player’s camp is prioritising a move where he will feature consistently. That could put Serie A and La Liga clubs at the front of the queue, though Premier League rivals have also been sounded out.
Arsenal’s squad reshaping continues
Arsenal’s summer strategy under Berta has focused on reshaping the squad to back Arteta’s tactical evolution. Moving Jesus out, even temporarily reflects that ambition, creating space for fresher profiles while also protecting the player’s value for a potential permanent sale in 2026.
For now, the decision is clear: Arsenal are open to letting Jesus leave, provided the right club is prepared to meet the conditions. Whether that solution emerges in England, Italy or Spain will become clear in the days ahead.
