What happened. Napoli are considering Gabriel Jesus, but his agent Giovanni Branchini denied that his visit to their training camp was about the striker, saying it was for 'entirely different reasons'.

• Branchini's trip was about Anguissa's contract, not Jesus.
• Napoli need to sell Lukaku and free up funds first.
• Arsenal prefer a permanent sale; Jesus's contract runs to 2027.

“entirely different reasons”

— Giovanni Branchini

Napoli's interest depends on resolving departures and creating squad space before any formal move.
