Napoli still pursuing Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus but need departures first

Napoli remains interested in signing Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus, but they first need to make some departures, according to Calciomercato.it. The Brazilian forward is not currently considered a starter at Arsenal, and could help fill the attacking gaps left by Massimiliano Allegri. The obstacle to acquiring Jesus is the need for outgoing players, with Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca being the most likely candidates for transfer.

Bologna are interested in Lang as they seek to replace Jonathan Rowe, who is rumored to be moving to Atalanta. Meanwhile, Lucca has attracted interest from several Serie A clubs, including Torino, Sassuolo, Fiorentina, and Genoa. Allegri's pursuit of another centre-forward is noteworthy, considering his assessment of current striker Rasmus Hojlund, whom he believes still has room for improvement, especially in his finishing.
