Juventus are reportedly plotting an ambitious move for Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus as the Italian giants look to solve their attacking struggles ahead of the January transfer window.
Sources suggest that Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for the Brazilian forward, who could leave North London for a fee of around €35 million.
This has caught the attention of Juventus, who are eager to bring in a proven goal scorer to boost their campaign.
Despite a solid start to the season, Juventus have struggled for consistency in front of goal. Jonathan David and Loïs Openda have failed to live up to expectations, while Dusan Vlahovic’s future remains uncertain as Premier League clubs continue to circle.
The Turin-based side now see Gabriel Jesus as the ideal solution a player with Champions League experience, work rate, and tactical flexibility that fits perfectly into coach Igor Tudor’s system.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reportedly values Jesus highly but would be open to letting him go if a strong offer arrives.
The 28-year-old, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022, has had an injury-hit spell and has recently seen his role reduced with the rise of younger forwards.
A transfer fee of €35 million is said to be enough to tempt Arsenal, though Juventus will likely need to offload a major player most likely Vlahovic before launching an official bid.
If Vlahovic completes a move to the Premier League in January, Juventus could quickly reinvest the funds into acquiring Jesus.
The Brazilian’s ability to play as both a striker and winger makes him a valuable asset for Tudor’s evolving system.
Club insiders believe that Jesus’ leadership, versatility, and experience could provide the spark Juventus have been missing this season.
While negotiations are still in the early stages, Juventus’ interest signals their determination to rebuild a powerful, balanced squad capable of competing at the top level both in Italy and Europe.
If the move materializes, it would be one of the headline transfers of the January window, potentially reshaping Juventus’ attacking line for years to come.
