Arsenal are unlikely to be able to step into the Champions League next season, making efforts by Mikel Arteta’s team to sign Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus are considered to be difficult.
Apart from Pep Guardiola, who still wants to keep the services of this Brazilian player, it seems that Jesus is predicted to not want to leave for the team made by Arteta, if he is not guaranteed to be able to take part in the most prestigious event on the European continent.
However, Express Football actually reports that Jesus’ opportunity to step into the Emirates Stadium in the upcoming 2022 summer transfer window, in fact, is still wide open.
Reportedly, the North London team is still optimistic that they can bring in the 25-year-old player, because Marcelo Pettinati as the agent of Jesus, is reportedly interested in a long-term project at Arsenal.
What no Champions League football means for Arsenal:
? Still hopeful on Gabriel Jesus
? #UCL may have meant additional signing or two
? Harder to persuade Saka to sign new deal
? Must learn how to recover from defeats? @gunnerblog & @David_Ornstein

Hearing these rumors, it seems that Arteta will continue to try to negotiate officially by spending at least 55 million pounds, in opening up his chances of signing the former Palmeiras player.
