AC Milan were eager to reinforce their attacking options last summer but failed to secure a new striker. The Rossoneri also explored possible additions during the most recent transfer window, yet once again came up empty-handed. As a result, their search for a proven forward is set to resume at the end of the season, with several candidates now under consideration.
Among those being assessed is Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, who has been added to Milan’s shortlist ahead of the next transfer window. The Brazilian has entered the final 17 months of his contract at the Emirates, placing Arsenal in a position where a decision on his future will soon be required. The club must either open talks over a new deal or consider a sale to avoid losing him later.
Jesus’ situation remains delicately balanced. Should Arsenal feel he can still play an important role in their long-term plans, a contract extension is likely to be offered. If doubts persist, however, they would be open to listening to offers that meet their valuation. His performances between now and the end of the campaign are therefore crucial.
The 26-year-old has endured a difficult spell disrupted by injuries and has only recently returned to action. He will need to deliver consistently to prove his value. While Arsenal are prepared to retain him if he convinces, they may also sanction a move.
