Overview
- Jesus told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he "grew up watching Serie A" and left his Arsenal future undecided, saying a move to Italy remains a dream after scoring twice at San Siro.
- He publicly accepted that he "didn’t deserve" a place in Brazil’s 2026 World Cup squad and said a loss of minutes late in the 2025–26 season cost him selection.
- The 29‑year‑old finished 2025–26 with six goals in 27 appearances for Arsenal and is under contract in north London until June 2027.
- Italian and English outlets report Juventus and AC Milan have shown interest and Arsenal are reportedly open to selling Jesus this summer to raise funds, with some sources citing a potential fee around £20 million.
- A sale would end Jesus’s immediate Premier League campaign and remove him from contention to chase a noted Brazilian scoring milestone while giving Arsenal space and money to reshape their forward line.
