Gabriel Jesus reportedly wants to stay at Arsenal this summer, despite the Gunners quoting a potential sale price to interested buyers.
Rumours over the future of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus have been hotting up over the last few days, amid reports that the Gunners want £18-20m for his transfer.
But John Cross reports for the Mirror that Jesus himself is determined to stay at Arsenal and see out his contract.
The striker loves Arsenal, his British citizenship will be issued this year, and he’s in no mood to push for an exit despite being aware of the interest in him. So his current desire is to stay at Arsenal and see out his contract.
Jesus also has his eye on breaking some records, as he’s just three goals off matching the record for the most goals by a Brazilian in Premier League history.
There’s also the fact that Jesus would be a free agent next summer, which would give him the freedom to choose his next club and probably earn him more money than a move this summer.
On the other side of things, Cross repeats that Jesus does want to play, and it’s clear he may not be guaranteed minutes at Arsenal next season.
David Ornstein reported for The Athletic earlier this week that various clubs have enquired about Jesus ahead of the summer transfer window, and Arsenal have told all of them that the striker is available for between £18m and £20m.
Whilst Jesus has a year left on his contract and can leave for free in 2027, Arsenal will not considering selling him cheaply before then.
