Gabriel Jesus’ future at Arsenal looks increasingly uncertain heading into the summer.
The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates, with a number of clubs said to be interested in his services.
Palmeiras, where Jesus trained during the international break, are one such club, and they are keeping a very close eye on his situation.
Now, Arsenal have reportedly made their stance clear on his valuation.
How much money should Arsenal demand to sell Gabriel Jesus this summer?
Name your price!
Arsenal set £26m price tag for Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal signed Gabriel Jesus for £45 million from Manchester City in the summer of 2022.
The Brazilian has had his moments in the famous red and white, but everyone knows that his value is nowhere near what it was four years ago.
Acritica in Brazil have revealed that Arsenal have set an asking price of around €30 million (£26m) for Jesus this summer.
Palmeiras are keen to bring him back, but they currently view that figure as too high given their financial structure.
The report claims that there could be some flexibility on that valuation because of Gabriel Jesus’ position at the club, but it remains to be seen how much.
The striker’s price could also depend on the clubs that show interest in signing him. If there are plenty, Arsenal’s chances of getting a good fee will be high.
For now, though, the £26 million valuation remains the benchmark for any interested club.

Andrea Berta would be a genius if he gets £26m for Gabriel Jesus
The £26 million valuation of Jesus is ambitious when you consider the full context of the situation.
The former Manchester City man is entering the final year of his contract, which immediately reduces his market value. It is also widely known that Arsenal are open to selling him, which weakens their negotiating position.
On top of that, teams know they could wait a year and sign him for free, which makes it difficult for the Premier League leaders to demand a premium fee.
For those reasons, it would not be surprising if the final figure ends up being lower than the reported figure.
However, if Andrea Berta manages to secure the full £26 million, it would be outstanding business.
