Report Milan want Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal

Milan are reportedly going to pursue Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus for next season, having already tried several times to sign him in the past.

It is no secret that the Rossoneri are in dire need of a new centre-forward, as Santiago Gimenez and Niclas Fullkrug are often left on the bench while Rafael Leao is pushed into a role that doesn’t suit him.

Max Allegri had a three-hour meeting with Milan directors this evening to discuss their transfer strategy for next season and that includes finding a hitman.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, the latest name for their list is Gabriel Jesus.

It is hardly the first time that the Brazilian has been linked with the Rossoneri, as he had also been targeted last summer and again in January.

The 29-year-old is only under contract with Arsenal until June 2027, so considering he was purchased for €52m from Manchester City in 2022, it is their last chance to sell.

Gabriel Jesus made only 25 competitive appearances this season, scoring five goals with two assists.

Curiously, two of those goals were in the Champions League against Milan’s bitter rivals Inter.

He had a lengthy lay-off after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in January 2025, which kept him out for the best part of a whole year.
