The Arsenal forward has reportedly been offered to Atlético Madrid, who have already made initial contact to learn the conditions of a potential deal.

According to the information in the original report, the English club would be willing to facilitate the 29-year-old’s departure for a fee of around €18 million to €20 million, a figure that could make the Brazilian an interesting option to strengthen Diego Simeone’s attack.

For now, talks are believed to be at an early stage, and it remains to be seen whether Atlético decide to move forward with a formal offer.

Arsenal Would Be Willing to Facilitate His Departure

Gabriel Jesus’ situation has changed considerably after a difficult season marked by a serious ACL injury that limited his playing time.

Now, with the possibility of finding a new project where he can regain a prominent role, Arsenal would be open to negotiating his departure during the final days of the transfer window.

For Atlético Madrid, the Brazilian would offer some interesting qualities. Jesus can operate as a center forward, but he also has the mobility to drift into wide areas, contribute to build-up play and help lead the press.

He also brings extensive Premier League and European experience, although his physical condition following such a significant injury would naturally be one of the main factors for any interested club to consider.

His Arrival Would Not Depend on Julián Álvarez

One of the most important aspects of this potential deal is that Gabriel Jesus’ arrival would be completely independent of what happens with Julián Álvarez.

The Argentine striker remains an Atlético Madrid player and, for now, is still part of the club’s project. However, his future has generated plenty of speculation in recent days, and his situation remains one of the biggest storylines surrounding the club as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.

That does not necessarily mean Gabriel Jesus would arrive as his replacement.

The idea would be to add another attacking option for Simeone, regardless of how Julián’s situation is ultimately resolved.

Atlético Consider Whether to Make a Move for Gabriel Jesus

For now, the most important step is still missing.

Gabriel Jesus would be available, Arsenal could facilitate a deal for a fee close to €20 million, and initial contact with the player’s representatives has reportedly already taken place. It is now up to Atlético Madrid to decide whether they want to turn that initial interest into concrete negotiations.

For the Brazilian, a move to Spain would represent an opportunity to begin a new chapter after several seasons in England and a difficult year affected by injuries.

For Atlético, it could mean adding experience and attacking depth without having to make an excessive investment for a player with his résumé.

Most importantly, the potential signing of Gabriel Jesus would not be tied to the future of Julián Álvarez. Even if the Argentine remains in Madrid, the Brazilian could become another option for Diego Simeone’s attack.
