Arsenal is reportedly gearing up for a significant attacking overhaul this summer, with speculation mounting that Gabriel Jesus could be the next high-profile forward to depart the Emirates Stadium, following Leandro Trossard's recent move.
Sources indicate that manager Mikel Arteta is keen to refresh the squad, making tough decisions about experienced players to make way for new talent. While Trossard's departure has already impacted the left wing, another seasoned attacker might soon follow him out the door.
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal is actively seeking to offload Gabriel Jesus, with AC Milan reportedly emerging as a frontrunner for his signature. The Brazilian forward, who has entered the final year of his contract, is said to be available for offers around the £20 million mark.
Jesus's importance at Arsenal has reportedly waned due to injuries and the rise of other attacking options like Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz. He managed just 14 Premier League appearances last season, netting six goals. AC Milan has already made contact, with Juventus, Atlético Madrid, and Turkish clubs also monitoring the situation.
A move to Serie A could be appealing for Jesus, who has reportedly expressed a childhood dream of playing in Italy. His versatility, experience, and movement could make him a valuable asset for AC Milan.
Jesus's potential exit follows Leandro Trossard's transfer to Besiktas for approximately £17 million. While Jesus's quality is not in doubt, his recurring injury issues have made consistent reliance difficult for Arteta. Selling him for a fee near £20 million would be considered reasonable, taking into account his wages and fitness record.
