Arsenal and Napoli are both monitoring Monza striker Gustavo Varela after his early goalscoring impact in Serie A. Multiple reports cite interest in the 21-year-old forward, who joined Monza from Benfica over the summer and has quickly attracted attention with his performances.
In Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport is cited as the source of the claims, describing Varela as a major focus for both English clubs and noting Napoli’s strong interest. Metro adds additional context on his start for Monza, including goals in Serie A and across competitions, and mentions a recent 4-0 win over Cagliari in which Varela scored twice.
Other coverage emphasizes broader competition for his signature, with Metro stating that top clubs across Serie A are keeping tabs on him. Metro also references Portuguese reporting that Benfica may look to re-sign Varela, and includes figures comparing a reported Benfica re-purchase cost with Monza’s summer fee. Football Italia’s item also frames the story as a report that Napoli and Arsenal monitor the player.
All sources converge on the central point: Varela’s early success at Monza has prompted interest from Arsenal and Napoli, with La Gazzetta dello Sport presented as the key reporting basis.
