Italian club still keen on wantaway Arsenal star

Days ago, it appeared that Gabriel Jesus’ move to Napoli was certainly off because he did not want to join the Italian club, even though he knows he could struggle for regular playing time at Arsenal if he stays. The Brazilian almost did not play for the Gunners during the final weeks of last season, and with a year left on his contract, leaving now could be a sensible option.

Not many clubs have shown interest in the former Manchester City man, but Napoli have been considering a move for him after selling Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian’s departure has created an opportunity for them to sign another striker, and Jesus is the player they have chosen to strengthen their squad.

Napoli Revive Interest in Jesus

Jesus’ representatives held talks with the Italian club, but negotiations then stalled, leading to speculation that the striker did not want to move to Napoli. However, the situation has changed again, with the possibility of a transfer now back on the table.

Napoli still see Jesus as an option who could strengthen their attack, while the player faces an uncertain future at Arsenal. His limited involvement towards the end of last season and his contract situation could make a move increasingly important before the transfer window closes.

Late Approach Could Be Made

According to Football Italia, Jesus could still join Napoli before the transfer window closes, with the Italian club planning to make a late approach for the striker. However, they first need to complete another sale before they can create room in their squad for him.

Napoli are currently working on selling at least one more player from their squad to make space for Jesus. If they manage to complete that departure, they could then make their approach for the Arsenal forward.

The situation leaves Jesus with a potential route away from Arsenal despite the earlier belief that a move to Italy had collapsed. Napoli’s interest remains dependent on their ability to create space within their squad, while Jesus would also need to agree to the move.

For Arsenal, his departure would resolve the uncertainty surrounding a player who could struggle for opportunities if he remains at the club. With only a year remaining on his contract, the coming days could therefore prove important for the Brazilian’s future.
