Juventus target Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus as replacement for Dusan Vlahovic

Juventus have confirmed that striker Dusan Vlahovic will not extend his contract beyond June 30, prompting the club to begin a search for a new forward. While the primary target remains Alexander Sorloth of Atletico Madrid, negotiations have stalled. The Italian side have added Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus to their shortlist, alongside Chelsea winger Nicolas Jackson and Paris Saint‑Germain attacker Randal Kolo Muani. Arsenal have set a price of roughly £20 million for Jesus and are not expected to lower it. Jesus, who returned from a long‑term knee injury last December, recorded six goals and two assists in under 1,000 minutes this season but currently sits behind Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres in the Arsenal attack. Juventus are also monitoring the availability of second‑string striker Lois Openda as a possible addition.
