**Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has revealed he is very keen on a move to Italian football.**
The Brazilian international has a year left on his contract with the Gunners, and, when asked by _Gazzetta Dello Sport_ (quotes via [_Goal Italy_](https://www.goal.com/it/liste/gabriel-jesus-strizza-l-occhio-a-juventus-e-milan-sono-cresciuto-guardando-la-serie-a-e-sognavo-di-giocare-in-italia/blta7f4c0c5b55e124a)) about a potential transfer to Juventus or AC Milan, Jesus replied:
“I grew up watching Serie A and dreamed of playing in Italy. Scoring two goals at the San Siro against Inter was like realising that dream. I don’t know my future, now I work, and we see what happens with Arsenal.”
Jesus will be allowed to leave the Emirates this summer if a club is prepared to match his £20m asking price.
Milan is not a likely destination for the Arsenal forward
---------------------------------------------------------
The Rossoneri have just spent a club record €74m (£64m) plus add-ons on Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos, so the chances of the Serie A side pursuing Jesus as well are pretty slim.
Juventus, in contrast, are about to lose Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer, and they will be seeking a new no.9.
In addition, the Bianconeri did not qualify for the Champions League, so they will be looking for a low-cost replacement, and Jesus may well come under consideration due to his availability and relatively modest valuation.
Jesus will have to reduce his salary
------------------------------------
The 29-year-old is currently the Gunners’ second-highest earner (behind Kai Havertz), taking home roughly £265,000 a week. That is not a wage he would get in Italy.
That does raise questions about whether a move to Serie A this summer is likely, but Jesus does seem keen on the idea.
With Arsenal hoping to bring in as much money as possible to fund [**new signings**](https://goonernews.com/blog/arsenal-transfer-news-bruno-guimaraes-4/), they will be open to any offers for the Brazilian, so we shall see how this story develops.
