Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is reportedly poised to leave Arsenal this summer, with Serie A giants AC Milan leading the race to sign the Brazilian forward after receiving approval from manager Mikel Arteta, according to sources cited by icfootballnews.
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, fresh reports suggest that Arsenal are ready to sanction a move that could reshape both clubs’ attacking plans ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 and played a key role in the club’s recent attacking evolution, but his position within the squad has shifted significantly in recent seasons. Jesus has struggled to cement a regular starting place amid stiff competition, with Viktor Gyökeres emerging as the club’s primary striking option and fellow forwards such as Kai Havertz also featuring in Arteta’s plans.
Sources indicate that Arteta has acknowledged the changing dynamics of his forward line and is willing to let Jesus pursue a fresh challenge elsewhere. AC Milan, in particular, have been heavily linked with the Brazilian, as the Serie A club look to reinforce their attacking options following a challenging campaign in front of goal.
Reports from Italian outlets suggest that Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has identified Jesus as a top target, believing his experience and blend of technical ability could help solve the club’s striking concerns.
Milan are said to be confident in their pursuit, even as rival clubs such as Newcastle United and others in the Premier League reportedly circle the forward, keen to offer him another opportunity in England.
Sources close to the situation claim the interest from Italy has intensified in recent weeks, with contacts established between Milan and Jesus’s representatives as both clubs edge closer to agreement.
For Arsenal , sanctioning the Brazilian’s departure could help fund further reinforcements in attack — a priority for Arteta’s squad ahead of next season. With over a year left on Jesus’s contract, the Gunners are expected to negotiate terms that reflect both his quality and age, balancing squad evolution with financial prudence.
Jesus’s time in North London has seen memorable contributions, but a combination of chronic injuries and tactical shifts have seen his role evolve into one of rotation rather than central figure.
If confirmed, a move to Milan would mark a significant chapter in the forward’s career as he seeks regular first-team football and a fresh platform to reignite his goalscoring credentials
