June 27, (THEWILL) – The expected transfer of Brazilian forward, Gabriel Jesus, from Manchester City to Arsenal is now more imminent than ever.
This follows the conclusion of personal agreement between Jesus and the Gunners, after the north London club on Friday, agreed to a £45 million deal with City for the Brazilian, as THEWILL reported.
In order to ensure that the agreement is finalised — just the medicals, the public presentation, and the formal confirmation remain — Jesus will sign a five-year contract with Mikel Arteta’s side. After five and a half years at City, Jesus may end up commanding the highest salary at the Emirates.
Since making it clear that he intended to leave the English Premier League champions, the 25-year-old has been a top transfer target for Mikel Arteta’s team this summer. The player has also prioritised a move to the north London club will leave City with a record of 159 appearances in the EPL with 32 assists and 58 goals.
In other Arsenal transfer news, the Gunners had their initial offer for Leeds’ Brazilian forward Raphinha rejected earlier this week, but they are still interested in signing him, even if it might cost them up to £60 million and even though the player would prefer to join La Liga Catalan side, Barcelona.
