Gabriel Jesus was on target twice for Arsenal against Inter Milan on Tuesday.
The brace helped the Gunners to a 3-1 win, as they went to the top of the Champions League table.
The decision to start the Brazilian was a big one from Mikel Arteta, especially with Viktor Gyokeres left on the bench. The choice paid off, as Jesus made his first start in the Champions League this season.
Inevitably, talk around the striker is growing in Italy after his showing at the San Siro.
Calciomercato IT report Serie A is emerging as a destination for the 28-year-old, whose contract in London runs out in 2027.
AC Milan and Juventus are both interested and have been for some time. Inter Milan have been keen in the past, although it appears they’ve slipped away now. As far as Juventus and Milan are concerned, a move for Jesus is expected to hinge on Dusan Vlahovic’s situation in Turin.
The Serbian is a target for the Rossoneri. If he leaves Juve and joins a club that isn’t Milan, both clubs are likely to come calling for the Brazil international.
The outlet believe that ‘no more than € 20m’ is needed to sign the striker from Arsenal. There is an expectation that he will be up for sale in the summer largely due to his contract situation.
Worth to Arsenal may be more than €20m
Italian clubs are no strangers to taking advantage of market opportunities. Jesus’ recent run of form is appealing to them, with the player also having scored against Aston Villa last month.
The Brazilian can operate as an effective back-up to Gyokeres. That is why Arteta’s stance on his future will be interesting, especially with Kai Havertz himself struggling with injuries.
At just €20m, getting rid may not may sense for the Arsenal manager. On top of that, there’s always the chance of a renewal with the Gunners.
