Gabriel Jesus was presented as a Barcelona player minutes after his transfer became official, expressing determination to earn Hansi Flick’s trust and excitement for a new chapter. Speaking partly in Spanish, he thanked Deco, the coach and the president, noting how quickly the move unfolded. Jesus said watching Barça at the Camp Nou filled him with motivation, and he is eager to contribute to a squad he described as “incredible.” He revealed he had trained hard at Arsenal even while separated from the main group, and once he learned the transfer was possible, he felt “over the moon.”

Addressing his fitness, Jesus insisted his knee is fully recovered after two difficult years, adding he feels in peak condition. Versatile across the front line, he said he is ready to play wherever needed. He also highlighted friendships in the dressing room and admitted winning the Champions League with Barça is already on his mind.
