"Barcelona” forward Gabriel Jesus talked about the transfer that took place a few months ago from a London club.

"I had two options in my mind: stay at Arsenal until the end of my contract or return to Brazil.

I thought the chance to play for Barcelona was already lost, but God surprised me once again.

Imagine not playing football for a week, and then Barcelona comes and wants to sign you. I wanted nothing more. The transfer happened quickly and smoothly,” Jesus stated.

It is reported that this transfer cost the Catalan club 10 million euros.

Jesus has already played four matches wearing the Barcelona jersey and scored two goals.

The Brazilian forward also recalled why he chose to move to Manchester City in 2016, even though Barcelona was interested in him.
