Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has admitted he would welcome a future in Serie A, with both Juventus and AC Milan reportedly keeping a close eye on the Brazilian forward.
Left out of Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup, the 29-year-old has spoken openly about his desire to rediscover regular playing time and his long-standing admiration for Italian football.
“I Want to Play More”
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Jesus revealed his frustration over limited opportunities at Arsenal while reaffirming his dream of playing in Italy.

“I want to play. I know that if I had more minutes, I could do much better. Serie A? I grew up watching the Italian league and always dreamed of playing there.
Scoring twice at San Siro against Inter felt like making that dream come true. I don’t know what my future holds. Right now, I’m focused on working hard, and we’ll see what happens with Arsenal.”
His comments are likely to fuel speculation over a potential move, with Juventus and Milan both believed to be monitoring his situation ahead of the transfer window.
Faith Helped Me Through the Hardest Moments
Jesus also shared a deeply personal reflection on how his faith helped him cope with injuries and uncertainty throughout his career.
“The injuries? What happened in the past doesn’t matter. I’m grateful to God for everything I’ve achieved in life. He gave me talent and opportunities. During the difficult moments, I had doubts and wondered if I would return.
I was already reading the Bible, but at that time I realized that without Jesus, we are nothing. Every day, you see His word come true, and you understand that you can’t do it alone.
