Milan’s search for a new striker has taken an interesting turn, as reports from Corriere dello Sport indicate that Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus has been added to their list of potential targets, as noted by Calciomercato.
The Brazilian forward, who has recently returned from a prolonged knee injury, is eager for immediate playing time to secure his place in the Seleção squad for the 2026 World Cup. With competition from Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino at Arsenal limiting his chances on the pitch, the prospect of a transfer is being considered.
However, this move poses significant financial challenges for the Rossoneri. Jesus commands a salary of around €16 million gross per year, which exceeds Milan’s current wage structure. While a permanent transfer is unlikely due to the costs, the report indicates that Milan’s management may explore the option of a temporary loan deal until the end of the season as a stop-gap solution for their attacking needs.
