Gabriel Jesus transfers to Barcelona after accepting salary cut from Arsenal

Gabriel Jesus completed a move from Arsenal to FC Barcelona on the summer transfer deadline day. The 29-year-old striker signed a three-year contract running through 2029. Jesus admitted to accepting a significant salary reduction to facilitate the transfer, noting the deal came together quickly after Barcelona failed to secure Julian Alvarez. Arsenal will receive an initial payment of €10 million, with potential add-ons bringing the total package to €15 million. The transfer agreement reportedly includes a 20% sell-on clause for the North London club. Jesus departs Arsenal after four years, during which he registered 32 goals in 123 appearances and contributed to the team winning five Premier League titles. His original contract at Arsenal was set to expire next summer.
