"There were a few links between AC Milan and Gabriel Jesus as the January mercato rolled around, but the striker will not leave Arsenal, it seems. With Santiago Gimenez injured and Christopher Nkunku failing to set the stage alight, Milan were linked to several strikers ahead of this month's mercato opening. However, it always seemed more likely that a more physical option would arrive."
"Jesus, then, would have been an option for a few months, if Christopher Nkunku departed, given the fees discussed for the Frenchman and the wages that it would free. But it never went any further than being an idea, with the former Chelsea man rejecting any advances. Today, the Brazilian striker spoke to the press before his game against Inter in the Champions League, and given the links to the other occupants of San Siro, he was asked about his future, as Calciomercato.com relays."
""My desire is to stay here [at Arsenal] and renew my contract, but we haven't talked about it yet.""
AC Milan explored Gabriel Jesus as a January target amid Santiago Gimenez's injury and Christopher Nkunku's poor form, but a move did not materialize. Milan were linked to several forwards, with a more physical striker seeming likelier than Jesus. Jesus could have become an option if Nkunku departed, given discussed fees and freed wages, but the idea did not progress and a former Chelsea man rejected advances. Jesus stated a desire to remain at Arsenal and renew his contract, though no talks have occurred. With Jesus earning €9 million annually and recent goals from Niclas Fullkrug and Nkunku, urgency to sign a striker is low.
