Gabriel Jesus slams Arsenal hierarchy over treatment before Barcelona move

Gabriel Jesus has finally broken his silence regarding his high-profile transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona, delivering a sharp critique of the English club's management. The forward revealed a breakdown in communication during the final weeks of his tenure at the Emirates Stadium, suggesting that his professionalism was met with a sudden and unexplained cold shoulder from those in charge.

The Brazilian international detailed the confusing nature of his final sessions in London, explaining how he was sidelined without any formal discussion regarding his future or his role in the team's plans. Despite his fitness, he found himself removed from the main group.

"The truth is, I was training, I did the entire preseason normally with Arsenal, and I already knew that, probably, I wouldn't play as much or wouldn't have as many opportunities. But nobody told me anything. I'm a professional, obviously I was training with the group, and out of nowhere they put me to train apart from the group," said Gabriel Jesus.

With his position at Arsenal becoming untenable, a solution emerged rapidly in the form of interest from the Catalan giants. Jesus credited the swift nature of the deal to the intervention of the Barcelona board, who acted decisively once they became aware of his availability during the final week of the window.

Now settled in Spain, Jesus is focused on revitalising his career under the bright lights of La Liga. While his time in London included moments of brilliance, the bitter nature of his exit has clearly left a mark. For the player, the move to Barcelona is an opportunity to prove his doubters wrong and show that he can still compete at the highest level of European football.
