Injured But In Demand: Barca Target Premier League Forward

Barcelona aren't done yet in the transfer market. Reports claim the Catalan giants are pushing to sign another striker this summer at the request of new coach Hansi Flick.

Why New Striker Now?

Despite recently signing Marcus Rashford, Roony Bardghji and Juan Garcia who all featured in 3 - 1 friendly win over Vissel Kobe, Flick reportedly remains unimpressed with the current attacking depth.

According to Foot Mercato, Barcelona are seriously considering move for Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal as they continue to explore the English market after missing out on Nico Williams.

Injured But Still Wanted

Gabriel Jesus 28 is still recovering from cruciate ligament injury he suffered in Jan. He isn't expected to return to action before November.

Yet Barca seem undeterred viewing the Brazilian as long term fit to rotate with Robert Lewandowski who turns 37 next month and is entering the final year of his contract.

Transfer Value and Contract Details

Transfermarkt values Jesus at 32 million euro and his deal with Arsenal runs until June 2027. But with Viktor Gyokeres now joining the Gunners, Jesus role has become uncertain especially after season limited to 7 goal and 2 assist in 27 game.
