Juventus Rejects Reported Jesus‑for‑David Swap as Arsenal Signal January Stay

Juventus cited fitness doubts alongside a high salary, limiting prospects for a winter exit.

Overview

  • Italian reports say Arsenal proposed sending Gabriel Jesus to Juventus in exchange for Jonathan David, a move the Turin club declined.
  • Coverage attributes Juventus’ stance to concerns about Jesus’ reliability after a long ACL lay-off and the size of his wages, despite recognizing his tactical value.
  • Gabriel Jesus told The Players’ Tribune he does not want to leave Arsenal and spoke of unfinished business and a push for trophies.
  • Mikel Arteta has publicly ruled out selling Jesus in January, emphasizing the forward’s contribution since returning to selection.
  • Jesus has resumed match action with substitute cameos as Arsenal manage his minutes, with striker competition from Viktor Gyokeres and ongoing but unconfirmed links to Jonathan David and financially constrained Milan interest.
