LIVE TRANSFER MARKET - NAPLES, Gabriel Jesus in the crosshairs: Arsenal out of his plan

Gabriel Jesus is once again at the center of transfer rumors: the Brazilian striker is reportedly out of Arsenal's plans and—according to rumors resurfacing in Italy—has been offered to Napoli. His exclusion from the Community Shield has been cited as a sign of Mikel Arteta's departure from the project, although some official match reports have discrepancies regarding his presence in the squad, fueling confusion about the true facts.

From a contractual and managerial standpoint, another factor weighs heavily: Jesus changed representation in recent months and is now managed by the agency linked to Giovanni Branchini, a factor that would have facilitated contacts with Italian clubs. His salary figure is also being circulated—around €9 million net per year—and there's speculation that the player is willing to reduce his salary to move to Serie A, but this is still official.

On the sporting front, the player's profile remains interesting but not without its uncertainties: born in 1997, he has unquestionable technical ability, but in recent years his performance has been affected by various physical issues. This is likely the issue holding back a more definitive negotiation, in addition to the lack of public offers or official communications from the clubs involved so far.

In short: interest has been reported and agents are working, but for now, rumors and issues that need clarification—from the actual situation in the Community Shield to the attacker's physical and contractual conditions—prevail before concrete negotiations can begin.
