Overview
- Reports on Thursday say Gabriel Jesus is widely expected to depart Arsenal this summer with Napoli the leading reported suitor.
- Arsenal have lowered their asking price from earlier figures and are now said to be willing to accept about €15 million for the 29-year-old.
- Transfer journalists report Jesus has rejected two lucrative offers from Turkish Süper Lig clubs because he wants to remain in a top European league.
- Jesus started Arsenal’s friendly against Como, missed a clear chance and was substituted after roughly 30 minutes, which coverage frames as evidence he is surplus to Mikel Arteta’s plans.
- A move would give Jesus more regular minutes and spare Arsenal the risk of losing him on a free next summer while Napoli must complete sales and agree personal terms to progress a deal.
