Arsenal outcasts Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus have been linked with Inter and Napoli, respectively, but both Serie A clubs must free up space to sign the Gunners’ attackers.
Inter and Napoli have been linked with Arsenal’s Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, respectively. Neither player has been called up for Arsenal’s Premier League opener against Coventry City this evening.

Inter and Napoli, however, find themselves in similar situations as they must first offload some of their players before making new signings.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Gabriel Jesus remains a primary name on the Napoli agenda, yet the Partenopei must sell either Noa Lang or Lorenzo Lucca. The latter has reportedly attracted interest from Trabzonspor, but the Partenopei are still waiting for an official bid.

As per Tuttosport, Martinelli has been offered to Inter by his agency, Roc Nation, the same agency that represents Inter player Luis Henrique, who is a Roma target.
Inter are reportedly intrigued by the possibility of signing Martinelli, but must increase their budget by selling Luis Henrique and, potentially, Ange-Yoan Bonny.
The latter is a Fiorentina target, which La Viola will likely sound out if Moise Kean goes to Como.
Inter value Bonny at €40m, and such a sale would allow them to buy Martinelli.
According to reports, both Napoli and Inter have also shown interest in Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who is on Juventus’ agenda.
