Transfer Market: Brazilian International Wants Arsenal Exit, Gives 'Yes' to Napoli

Gabriel Jesus has reportedly given his approval for a move to Napoli, as the Italian club looks to bolster its attacking options with the Brazilian international. However, the deal hinges on several player departures from the Serie A side, who need to free up their wage bill before making a formal offer for the Arsenal forward.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the operation is directly linked to the exit of Romelu Lukaku, who has already agreed terms with Fenerbahçe. The remaining hurdle is an agreement between the clubs, with Napoli reportedly lowering their initial asking price of €12 million to a figure between €7 and €8 million, including bonuses. Interestingly, the Turkish club is also said to be interested in Gabriel Jesus.

Another potential source of funds is Noa Lang, who is a target for Ajax. Napoli is demanding €30 million but is open to negotiating for around €25 million plus bonuses.

Gabriel Jesus is reportedly keen on a move to Serie A and has placed Napoli at the top of his preferred destinations. With only one year remaining on his Arsenal contract, a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option could be the solution.

Napoli has already invested €86.5 million in this transfer window, securing Hojlund, Alisson Santos (from Sporting), and Lorenzo Lucca. Consequently, the club now needs to offload players before making further acquisitions.
