The website "Fichejes" reported that Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus is experiencing a difficult period with English club Arsenal under coach Mikel Arteta, as his role has significantly diminished, making a departure in January a strong possibility.

The report clarified that Arsenal's management is considering the option of letting the player go either on loan with a purchase option or through a direct sale, after he lost his starting position in the lineup following a series of injuries that affected his performance.

The same source indicated that Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras have entered into a fierce competition to acquire Jesus during the upcoming winter transfer window, with Flamengo being the closest to signing him through a loan that includes a purchase option and sharing his high salary.

It is worth noting that Gabriel Jesus is under contract with Arsenal until 2027, which gives the English club room for negotiation, at a time when the club believes that his departure could pave the way for signing a new striker that fits the team's future plans.
