Could Gabriel Jesus fit in at Flamengo? Arsenal exit likely in 2026 | OneFootball

Gabriel Jesus has a contract with Arsenal (ENG) until June 2027

The transfer window is closed, and Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. However, José Boto continues to keep an eye on market opportunities. Thus, an alternative for 2026 is the forward Gabriel Jesus, who intends to leave Arsenal (ENG).

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Gabriel Jesus, currently at Arsenal, wishes to leave the English club in January 2026. Therefore, a return to Brazilian football is possible, while Flamengo is expected to seek a new forward for the next year.

WHAT IS GABRIEL JESUS' SITUATION?

Gabriel Jesus has a contract with Arsenal until June 2027, but he is expected to leave the team before then. This is because the Brazilian forward has become the third option in coach Mikel Arteta's squad this season.

Arsenal signed Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres, formerly of Sporting (POR), for record amounts. Additionally, coach Mikel Arteta often improvises midfielder Mikel Merino in the forward role at times.

AND FLAMENGO?

Currently, Flamengo has three forwards in the squad. Pedro is the starter for the team led by Filipe Luís, while Wallace Yan and Juninho are substitutes. However, both players are expected to leave the Most Beloved in the upcoming transfer windows.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the transfer window is closed, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. Thus, Mengão faces Estudiantes (ARG) this Thursday (25), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
