Gabriel Jesus Says He Took Major Pay Cut to Fulfil Barcelona Dream

Gabriel Jesus says he accepted a significant wage reduction to complete his move from Arsenal to Barcelona. The Brazilian forward joined the Spanish champions on a three-year deal after Barcelona reportedly agreed an initial €10 million fee, with add-ons that could raise the total to €15 million. He leaves Arsenal after scoring 32 goals in 123 appearances. Jesus said the transfer required sacrifice from both sides and described playing for Barcelona as an opportunity he did not expect at age 29. He also said he is focused on earning playing time rather than concerns about where he ranked among the club’s transfer targets.
