According to Corriere dello Sport , Gabriel Jesus remains a primary name on the Napoli agenda, yet the Partenopei must sell either Noa Lang or Lorenzo Lucca. The latter has reportedly attracted interest from Trabzonspor, but the Partenopei are still waiting for an official bid.

Inter are reportedly intrigued by the possibility of signing Martinelli, but must increase their budget by selling Luis Henrique and, potentially, Ange-Yoan Bonny.
The latter is a Fiorentina target, which La Viola will likely sound out if Moise Kean goes to Como.
Inter value Bonny at €40m, and such a sale would allow them to buy Martinelli.
According to reports, both Napoli and Inter have also shown interest in Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who is on Juventus’ agenda.

What happened
Arsenal forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, both marginalized under Mikel Arteta this season, have set out conditions for a possible Serie A transfer. The Brazilian pair are seeking regular first-team football and are open to moves to Italy, where several clubs have reportedly expressed interest. With Arsenal reshaping their attacking options, exits for both players would free up wages and squad space ahead of the summer window.
Chance analysis
Arsenal's depth chart up front has shifted decisively in favor of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus's standing has slipped considerably since returning from injury, while Martinelli has struggled for consistent minutes behind a settled left-side pecking order. A double Serie A exit would represent a significant squad turnover for the Gunners and a notable statement of intent from Italian clubs seeking Premier League-proven attacking talent. For Martinelli, once among the most exciting young wingers in the league, a move abroad would mark a crossroads moment in his career trajectory.
Arsenal would lose two forward options but free wages and squad space; Serie A clubs would gain proven Premier League attacking talent if deals materialize.
