Gabriel Jesus has spoken candidly about the circumstances of his Arsenal exit, following his £8.6m move to Barcelona, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).
The Brazilian forward revealed he was separated from the rest of the Arsenal squad in the lead-up to his departure, describing treatment he found difficult during his final days at the club. While the report doesn't detail the specifics of how this separation played out, Jesus's comments suggest a frosty end to his time in north London before completing his switch to the Catalan giants.
Jesus arrived at Arsenal in 2022 with high hopes after leaving Manchester City, but injuries and inconsistent form limited his impact in England. His move to Barcelona for a relatively modest £8.6m reflects how his stock had fallen by the time he left.
Further details on his comments, including any specific incidents behind the "cruel treatment" claim, have not yet been fully outlined in the report — but the remarks add another layer to the story of his often turbulent Arsenal career coming to a close.
