Despite this, manager Carlo Ancelotti still respects him as a player.
Jesus is one of the five players on the Italian’s shortlist, claims Goal.
They assert that Ancelotti views him as Karim Benzema’s ideal understudy and potential replacement.
Jesus, 25, played a part in Arsenal’s successful start to the year.
The former Manchester City player has five goals and four assists in 11 Premier League games.
Due to their recent success, Arsenal is currently second in the standings and might overtake City and reclaim first place if they defeat Nottingham Forest this afternoon.
Alphonso Davies, Endrick, Enzo Fernandez, and Piero Hincapie are additionally on Madrid’s shortlist.
Jesus spoke to BT Sport earlier this month about the connection he already has with Arsenal supporters.
When he originally signed on, he said, “I went to a Brazilian restaurant.
“A lot of Arsenal fans came to greet me when I was waiting in my car outside.
Naturally, things are different at Manchester City. In the past 10, 15, or more years, cities have had a significant impact. Arsenal had a lot before that. You know, it’s different.
“I appreciate how they approach me and make me feel welcome. They will stand by you all the way through. Exactly.
Although it’s different, I was pleased with City’s supporters.
