Napoli is reportedly in pursuit of Arsenal’s striker Gabriel Jesus as a potential successor for Victor Osimhen, as per Calciomercato.
Osimhen played a pivotal role in Napoli securing their first Serie A title in 33 years last season and finished as the top scorer in the league with 26 goals.
However, Osimhen’s future with the club at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona has become uncertain following a dispute over a post on the club’s official TikTok account. Although his agent threatened legal action, Napoli maintained that no offense was intended, although no formal apology was issued.
This controversy has significantly increased the likelihood of Osimhen leaving in January, prompting Napoli to start searching for a potential replacement.
Rudi Garcia’s team is considering Gabriel Jesus as one of their options, along with Jonathan David from Lille and Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid.
