Arsenal linked with Monza striker Gustavo Varela
Barcelona and Napoli are also reportedly interested in the 21-year-old, whose Monza contract runs until June 2030.
Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Monza striker Gustavo Varela, according to A Bola, which also named Barcelona and Napoli as potential suitors. The Italian club is seeking around £34 million–£42.5 million (€40 million–€50 million) for the 21-year-old, the report said.
Varela leads Serie A's scoring standings with nine goals from nine appearances, ahead of Donyell Malen on eight. The Portugal Under-21 international has also registered one league assist and scored twice in his sole Coppa Italia appearance.
Monza signed Varela from Benfica during the summer transfer window for £1.7 million (€2 million), with additional payments tied to his performances. His deal with Monza extends to June 2030.
Benfica retained a right to 20% of any future capital gain from his sale, but the transfer agreement did not give the Portuguese club a buy-back option. Varela previously developed in Sporting's academy.
