Napoli Targets Gabriel Jesus as Potential Replacement for Romelu Lukaku
Napoli, the reigning Italian Serie A runners-up, are reportedly considering Gabriel Jesus as a potential reinforcement for their attacking line. The Brazilian forward is likely being eyed as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku at the club.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli’s interest in Jesus is genuine. Arsenal values the player at around €20 million, but Napoli hopes that Jesus’s own enthusiasm for the move could help secure a more favorable deal.
Gabriel Jesus recently signed with the same agency representing Massimiliano Allegri, which may help accelerate negotiations between the parties involved.
With Romelu Lukaku possibly set to join MLS side Atlanta United, talks regarding Jesus’s transfer are expected to intensify in the near future.
