According to Brazil Global Sports, Arsenal and Naples are closely monitoring Brazil's international Ribero, and both clubs have also made preliminary contacts.

Ribero's performance in the first two World Cup qualifiers after taking office was taken, which attracted the attention of top European clubs, so he may leave Lille this summer. Although the defense already has Gabriel, Saliba and Calafiori, Arsenal is satisfied with Ribero's performance and considers further chasing the 25-year-old defender.

Arsenal, Naples and other clubs sent scouts to watch Brazil's game against Paraguay on the spot, and Ribero was one of their inspection targets. Ribero is considering a transfer in the coming weeks, but he wants to make sure he makes the right decision with the team.

After being rejected by several Brazilian clubs, Ribero came to Europe at a young age. He first played in the third-level league in Portugal. In 2022, he joined Lille and grew up quickly, attracting the attention of the Brazilian national team with his performance.
