Juventus could be preparing a surprising move in the upcoming winter transfer window. According to TeamTalk, the Italian giants have set their sights on Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, as the Premier League club appears open to negotiating his departure.
The Bianconeri are reportedly unsatisfied with their current attacking options. Jonathan David and Loïs Openda have struggled to make an impact, while Dusan Vlahovic continues to face uncertainty about his future in Turin.

Faced with inconsistency and a lack of goals, Juventus are already exploring ways to strengthen their frontline before the second half of the season.
Arsenal open to sale if offer meets their valuation
Gabriel Jesus, born in 1997, has been a key figure at Arsenal since joining from Manchester City. However, reports suggest that Mikel Arteta’s side no longer view the Brazilian as untouchable.

His contract runs until June 2027, yet Arsenal would be willing to let him go for an offer in the region of €35 million. That figure is seen as achievable by Juventus, but only if an important financial condition is met.
The Turin club could proceed with a move for Jesus only if Dusan Vlahovic decides to leave mid-season. The Serbian forward’s potential transfer would free up a significant portion of the wage budget and generate the funds needed to submit a formal bid to Arsenal.
Such a scenario could set off a complex chain of events in the January market. If Vlahovic accepts an offer from a Premier League side, Juventus would be ready to act immediately to bring Jesus to Serie A.

The Brazilian’s versatility, experience, and winning mentality are viewed as ideal for coach Igor Tudor’s tactical system. For now, this remains an intriguing possibility rather than a confirmed deal. Still, Juventus’ interest underlines their ambition to rebuild a competitive squad capable of fighting for both domestic and European success.
The next few months will be decisive in determining whether this bold plan materializes into one of the most surprising moves of the January transfer window.
