Napoli is considering a move for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus as a major centenary-season signing and to strengthen Massimiliano Allegri’s attack. The Brazilian is reportedly open to prioritizing a transfer to Serie A, but his €9 million net annual salary, expiring contract, and the need for Napoli to sell players—particularly Romelu Lukaku—complicate the deal. Despite a history of serious knee injuries, including a cruciate ligament rupture that sidelined him from January to November 2025, he is said to be fit. The piece argues that, if healthy, his pace, movement, finishing, and ability to operate in tight spaces could make him one of Serie A’s most impactful attackers.

Juventus are reportedly close to signing 2007-born Bosnia international Kerim Alajbegović from Bayer Leverkusen for €33 million plus bonuses, potentially worth around €40 million. Former Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanić has acted as an intermediary, while Frédéric Massara has also helped advance the deal. Alajbegović could play as a left-sided winger or attacking midfielder in Luciano Spalletti’s systems, potentially alternating with Kenan Yildiz behind Randal Kolo Muani. His arrival could affect the roles and futures of Yildiz and Francisco Conceição, although any departures remain speculative.
