Napoli is in advanced negotiations with Arsenal for Gabriel Jesus, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Brazilian forward has been identified as surplus to requirements by Arsenal, with the club awaiting suitable offers for the striker.

Napoli are actively pursuing Jesus, with reports indicating they are prepared to submit a formal offer shortly.

The Serie A club have finalized the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Fenerbahce, while Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca are also expected to leave.

Once these departures are finalized, Napoli intend to intensify their bid for Jesus, who has long been a target for the Italian giants.

Jesus has reportedly expressed openness to the move, suggesting the transfer could proceed at any time.

In addition to Jesus, Napoli are also interested in signing Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal, with the Gunners valuing him at approximately £51.3m.
