Speaking to SportyTV, Jesus detailed his final days at the Emirates. He recounted, "I'm a professional, you know and then obviously I was training with the group and then from nothing they put me to train away from the group." Jesus added that the support from Deco, the club's president, and his agent made the situation manageable.
In just one day, it became evident that he would have the chance to join Barcelona, and he promptly accepted the offer, regardless of the circumstances, expressing his immense happiness about his new position.
