Gabriel Jesus: Napoli Not the Only Suitor!

August 15, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

Gabriel Jesus could depart Arsenal for approximately €20 million. While Napoli has opened talks, they must first clear squad space and reach an agreement with the Brazilian forward. Juventus is also keeping an eye on the situation, particularly if Jonathan David were to move.

Mikel Arteta reportedly no longer considers Gabriel Jesus a central figure in his squad's hierarchy, prompting Arsenal to be open to offers around the €20 million mark. Napoli has already made inquiries about the feasibility of the operation, demonstrating concrete interest. However, any move forward hinges on further player sales and a financial agreement with the Brazilian striker, making the negotiation process complex and far from conclusion.

Napoli Initiates Contact

The Neapolitan club views Gabriel Jesus as a suitable addition to their attacking line. His versatility allows him to play as a central striker, from a wide position, or behind a more physically imposing forward. This adaptability would enable the coach to alter tactical formations without resorting to substitutions. Furthermore, Jesus brings valuable international experience, contributes effectively to build-up play, and possesses a high work rate in pressing.

Arsenal's Valuation: Around €20 Million

With Gabriel Jesus entering the final year of his contract, which expires in 2027, Arsenal faces the risk of losing him for free if he doesn't renew or get sold. Consequently, the Gunners are prepared to negotiate for a fee in the region of €20 million. Valuations circulating in England range between £18 and £20 million, an amount that could fluctuate based on the deal structure and any potential bonuses.
