Real Madrid are interested in signing Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to a report.

Real Madrid interested in Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus

Defensa Central have reported that last season’s La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid are looking for a new striker.

And they think that Arsenal star Jesus is “ideal” for them, according to the report.

Madrid want a striker who can play alongside Frenchman Karim Benzema or as the lone man upfront.

The European powerhouse also want their new number 9 to be able to play out wide.

And, according to the report, the £265,000-a-week (Spotrac) Jesus fits the bill.

HITC Verdict: Real Madrid have to spend big

In our view, if Real Madrid are genuinely interested in signing Gabriel Jesus, then they have to pay a lot in transfer fees to Arsenal.

Arsenal signed the Brazil international striker from Manchester City only last summer.

And despite his injury problems this season, the striker remains a key figure in manager Mikel Arteta’s team.

Arsenal paid £45 million for Jesus in the summer of 2022, and if they are to sell Jesus at the end of the season, then the North London club will surely ask a lot more than that.
