Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus in a late move before the close of the transfer window.
The Catalan club have been searching for a new striker throughout the summer, with Atletico Madrid forward Julián Alvarez previously identified as their preferred target.
However, Atletico have remained firm on their decision not to sell Alvarez to Barcelona, forcing the Spanish giants to explore alternative options.
