Gabriel Jesus says Arsenal made him train separately before Barcelona move

Gabriel Jesus says he was made to train away from the Arsenal squad in the final weeks before his move to Barcelona.

The Brazil forward left Arsenal for Barcelona shortly before the summer transfer window closed, bringing an end to his time at the London club. He has now spoken about what he experienced during the period leading up to the transfer.

“At Arsenal, they sent me to train separately from the team,” Jesus said.

Jesus’ comments describe his situation during the closing stages of his Arsenal spell, before he completed his move to Barcelona. The circumstances he referred to occurred in the weeks immediately preceding the transfer, as the summer window approached its deadline.

The forward has already made his first appearance for Barcelona. He made his debut for the Catalan club in a La Liga match against Valencia.

That debut followed his move from Arsenal and marked the beginning of his time with Barcelona. Jesus’ switch was completed before the summer transfer window closed, with the player subsequently joining his new team for domestic competition.

His account focuses on the training arrangements he experienced at Arsenal before the move. He said he was separated from the rest of the squad during that period, rather than training alongside the team.

Jesus is now part of Barcelona’s squad after making the transition from Arsenal to La Liga. His first match for the club came against Valencia, giving him an early opportunity to begin his new chapter in Spanish football.

The Brazilian’s comments provide his account of the final weeks before the transfer, while his appearance against Valencia confirms that he has already begun playing for Barcelona. No further details about the training arrangements or the circumstances surrounding them were provided in the source account.

The move was completed before the end of the summer transfer window, and Jesus’ debut means his switch from Arsenal to Barcelona has already been followed by competitive action in La Liga.
