SHOCK REPORT: Flamengo open talks to sign Arsenal forward — loan with option to buy proposed, player gives green light

Flamengo have reportedly opened negotiations to sign Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus this summer.
 

Just yesterday, reports indicated that Arsenal are exploring the possibility of selling the 28-year-old, with interest coming from clubs in both Brazil and Europe.

Now, a fresh update from Brazil has emerged.

According to RTI Esporte, Flamengo are actively working on a deal to bring Jesus back to his home country. The Brazilian giants are understood to be preparing a season-long loan offer with an option to buy.

Jesus is reportedly open to returning to Brazil and has given the green light for a potential move to Flamengo.

It remains unclear whether Arsenal and Mikel Arteta would be willing to sanction a loan move, rather than a permanent transfer.
