Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is determined to continue his career in one of Europe's top leagues if he departs the club during the current transfer window.
The 29-year-old Brazilian is entering the final year of his contract with the Gunners and no longer enjoys a guaranteed spot in Mikel Arteta's starting XI.
Rejecting Turkish millions and Napoli's interest
According to transfer insider Nicolo Schira, Jesus has turned down two lucrative offers from Turkish Super Lig clubs. The forward prioritises sporting ambitions and Champions League football over a fat paycheck.
Napoli are currently leading the chase for the player. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest the Serie A side sees Jesus as an ideal addition to their attack, particularly as they explore options following Romelu Lukaku's potential exit. Two other European clubs are also monitoring the situation closely.
Arsenal reduces financial demands
Initially, the Gunners were hoping to realise around €20 million for their forward, but recent reports indicate they are now willing to let him go for approximately €15 million.
This price drop seems a sensible move, especially with only 12 months left on Jesus's current deal. The Gunners risk losing him for nothing next summer, so selling him for €15 million would help lighten the wage bill while compensating for a player whose time in London has been marred by frequent injuries.
