Hansi Flick ‘surprised’ as Barcelona snap up Gabriel Jesus in bargain €10m transfer from Arsenal

While Barca remain theoretically open to signing a new centre-back, the transfer window closes on Tuesday evening. Time is rapidly running out for the club to conduct any further major business. When asked if fans should expect any more arrivals in the next 24 hours, Flick played down the possibility. “I don’t think so, but we will see,” the manager concluded.

With Jesus fully integrated into the squad this week, Barcelona will turn their attention back to domestic duties. Flick’s squad will next face Valencia at Mestalla in a Liga match.
