Napoli cools Gabriel Jesus chase, sets sights on Esposito

In the Gabriel Jesus-Napoli Cerchione Apertura update, Napoli’s pursuit of Gabriel Jesus has been deliberately cooled, as director Manna shifts focus to Sebastiano Esposito. Gabriel Jesus remains fully available, but the club’s current interest centres on a loan‑with‑option deal valued near €15 million.

Manna’s shift to Esposito

Luca Cerchione reported via a tweet that director Manna continues to monitor Sebastiano Esposito.

Il club Napoli has not ruled out a loan for Esposito.

Esposito, after his break with Cagliari, could leave on a loan with an option to buy.

The potential transaction is estimated at close to €15 million.

Cerchione also noted that Gabriel Jesus is fully willing to move to Napoli.

However, Napoli has chosen to cool the transfer track for the moment.

The name continues to spark market dreams among the fans.

The information echoes a statement made on 6 August on ocwsport.

At that time, the director’s attention to Esposito was already highlighted.

The latest Napoli market news, labelled as Ultime, appeared in a Stampa A− A+ release.
