Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, from Napoli, publicly praised Gabriel Jesus in an interview with Corriere dello Sport on Thursday. The Belgian was asked about the possible arrival of the Brazilian striker at the Italian club and stated that he could add to the squad.
De Bruyne highlighted Gabriel Jesus's qualities, mentioning quality in attack with the ball, in supporting play, and in building up plays. The midfielder said he is probably a profile that Napoli doesn't have, unlike Rasmus or Lorenzo, and that the Brazilian could help the team with his experience, as he knows how to win.
In recent weeks, Napoli has shown interest in signing Gabriel Jesus, but negotiations, for now, have not progressed. The Italian club sees the Brazilian as an addition to the squad, but there has been no concrete progress in the talks yet.
Gabriel Jesus has a contract with Arsenal until mid-2027, but is going through a moment of uncertainty about his future. Since the World Cup, the striker has been approached by different European clubs, including from the Premier League itself.
