Napoli turn to Jesus as potential Victor Osimhen replacement

Napoli is reportedly considering Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen, according to sources at Calciomercato. Osimhen played a pivotal role in leading Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years last season and clinched the top spot in the league scoring charts with an impressive 26 goals.

However, uncertainty looms over Osimhen’s future at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona following a dispute regarding a post on the club’s official TikTok account. The incident led to tension between Osimhen’s agent and Napoli, with the agent threatening legal action. Napoli maintained that no offense was intended, although they refrained from issuing an apology.

Given the unsettled situation, a January departure for Osimhen seems increasingly likely, prompting Napoli to explore potential replacements. Gabriel Jesus has emerged as a prime option, alongside Lille’s Jonathan David and Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata, as Napoli seeks to bolster their attacking options.
