AC Milan & Juventus interested in signing £45m Arsenal star
AC Milan and Juventus are interested in landing the signature of Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus at the end of the season, according to Calciomercato.
The Brazil international had a tough 2025 with the Gunners. He picked up a serious knee injury during the FA Cup third round tie against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium last winter.
The 28-year-old had to wait for 11 months to return to action. He has since played a meaningful part for the Gunners with three goals, including a sublime brace against Inter in the Champions League.
Calciomercato now report that Milan and Juventus are weighing up possible bids for Jesus.
Juventus are poised to lose the services of Dusan Vlahovic when his contract expires on June 30. Milan are among the Serbian’s main admirers, but he could also choose another club.
In such a scenario, Milan and Juventus could battle it out for Jesus’ signature. It is claimed that he may not cost more than £17.4 million with his Gunners contract expiring in June 2027.
Arsenal may not part ways with Jesus
The £45 million signing was heavily linked with a possible return to Palmeiras last summer, but nothing materialised. Jesus has since acknowledged that he would like to return to the Brazilian outfit when his Gunners stay concludes.
Jesus will enter the last 12 months of his contract in the summer, but we don’t believe the Gunners will easily grant his departure, particularly if he has a strong end to the ongoing campaign with several goal contributions.
The Brazilian has started to find his feet with some important goals for the Gunners. He may be playing second fiddle to Viktor Gyokeres in the Premier League, but manager Mikel Arteta may still prefer to keep him in the squad.
It has been reported that Arsenal are concerned about Kai Havertz’s long-term fitness after his knee flared up again on his return from injury. The German’s game time could be carefully managed for the remainder of the current season.
If there is no improvement until the summer, it could have an influence on their decision-making regarding Jesus. They could prefer to stick with him for the final year of his contract, while a short-term renewal could also be discussed.
