According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli views Gabriel Jesus as a realistic transfer target, but only after selling players first.

Gabriel Jesus has become an ambitious yet realistic transfer option for Napoli. He has an impressive resume and numerous honors, and played alongside De Bruyne at Manchester City from 2017 to 2022. Napoli also sees him as a candidate to strengthen their attack.

After four seasons at Arsenal, Jesus is seeking a change of scenery. Last season, he won the Premier League with Arsenal, but Arteta afforded him only 25 appearances across all competitions, including 13 in the league, where he scored 5 goals. This is precisely why Napoli had this idea: why not explore it? Of course. The player himself has softened his position, and Arsenal's valuation stands at around 20 million euros.

So the situation remains unchanged: Napoli's interest is genuine and strong, but it will be difficult to move forward without first selling two key players. The first on the sales list is Lukaku, valued at 10 million euros, with Chelsea retaining 40% of any future resale profit; he has one year remaining on his contract, earning approximately 11 million euros pre-tax, and Turkish club Trabzonspor has been pursuing the Belgian striker. The second may be Lang, provided Lukaku's destination is clarified first; if Kvaratskelia ultimately joins Paris Saint-Germain, Lang will be Ajax's primary target.

Giovanni Branchini Is the Key Figure

The connection between Gabriel Jesus and Napoli extends beyond his Manchester City experience with De Bruyne and his Brazilian nationality, which aligns with Neres. His agent is Giovanni Branchini, who also represents Allegri and serves as Anguissa's agent. Under the right circumstances, this could become a pivotal deal in this summer's transfer market. Branchini recently arrived in Castel di Sangro and attended a training session at the Patini training ground. Today, Napoli will face Celta Vigo there, with the match starting at 9 PM Beijing time. While originally a planned visit, the trip took on added significance following developments with Gabriel Jesus. Importantly, he was accompanied by Maxime Nana, a senior agent representing Anguissa. With only one year remaining on his contract, Anguissa's contract situation and potential renewal will also be discussed.

Jesus Can Play as Center Forward or Second Striker

Technically, Gabriel Jesus can operate as both a center forward and a second striker, adapting to 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, or 3-5-2 formations. He possesses excellent technique, is two-footed, quick, and brings extensive international experience, having earned 64 caps for Brazil. This prospect excites Napoli fans, and it is no fantasy—it is a genuine objective. Perhaps difficult, but certainly achievable.
