Napoli’s last hurdle for Gabriel Jesus: squad space and sales
Gabriel Jesus-Napoli talks have reached a decisive stage, with Napoli confirming that the Arsenal forward remains a concrete objective for Massimiliano Allegri’s offensive rebuild, and the Brazilian has reportedly given his approval to join the Italian side. The club aims to complete its attack line before the summer window closes.
Agent and obstacles
Giovanni Branchini, the agent representing Gabriel Jesus and also Massimiliano Allegri, is actively negotiating with Arsenal to find a solution. Napoli’s main hurdle is freeing squad space and recovering economic resources to secure a permanent deal for the Brazilian.
The club’s possible exits focus on forwards Lorenzo Lucca and Noa Lang, whose situations differ markedly. Lucca continues to persuade Allegri after a positive pre‑season and goals in friendlies, while Lang’s future appears uncertain, with the Dutchman likely slated to leave.
Allegri wanted to sign Doumbia for Milan and Napoli, but Sporting have him
Sporting director Giovanni Manna could trigger the Gabriel Jesus pursuit once at least one of the offensive players, particularly Lang, departs. Allegri has expressed willingness to welcome a striker with Premier League experience and accustomed to high‑level play.
