Here we go: Barcelona set to sign Arsenal striker for €10 million plus add-ons

Barcelona is set to sign Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus for €10 million plus add-ons, despite efforts by Atletico Madrid to block the move. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the transfer, stating that Barcelona had been in advanced talks with Arsenal. The initial fee is lower than expected due to Jesus's contract situation, as his current deal with Arsenal expires at the end of the season.

Gabriel has faced injuries in the past, including a long-term ACL injury, but has since recovered. Barcelona aims to bolster their attacking options with the experienced Brazilian, who has scored 95 goals for Manchester City and 32 goals for Arsenal in nearly 250 Premier League appearances. A medical is scheduled for Monday, with the transfer expected to be completed by the end of the transfer deadline day.

Gabriel will sign a two-year contract at Barcelona with an option for a further year at the Camp Nou.
