Flamengo not in talks for Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus despite rumours

Despite speculation emerging in recent days, sources close to the situation have clarified that there has been no contact or movement regarding a potential transfer.

The Brazilian forward, whose current deal with Arsenal runs until 2027, is one of the club's highest earners, with a weekly wage of £265,000.

That financial outlay presents a significant obstacle for any potential suitors, particularly clubs outside of Europe's top five leagues. Flamengo, while a powerhouse in South American football, would likely struggle to meet such terms.

Jesus has endured a mixed spell at the Emirates, with flashes of quality often undermined by injuries and inconsistency. While questions have been raised over his long-term future in north London, there is no suggestion at this stage that Arsenal are actively looking to offload the striker.

With the Gunners preparing for another demanding campaign under Mikel Arteta, the 28-year-old remains part of the squad for now. Any talk of a move to Brazil appears premature at best, with the player fully focused on the season ahead.
