Gabriel Jesus dreaming of return to Palmeiras
Gabriel Jesus has revealed it is his dream to one day return to his boyhood club, Palmeiras.
The Arsenal striker left Palmeiras for Manchester City in 2017, before completing a move to the Gunners in 2022.
Jesus played 47 Brazilian Serie A games for Palmeiras, scoring 16 goals and providing eight assists, and helped it win the league title in 2016.
He also directly contributed to four goals – three goals and one assist – in nine Copa do Brasil games in 2015, when Palmeiras lifted the trophy.
Injuries have now forced the 29-year-old to a reduced role at Arsenal, which won the Premier League title for the first time since 2003-2004 this season.
Over the past two campaigns, Jesus has made just 30 league appearances for the Gunners, scoring five goals.
His future in north London is uncertain, despite him still having a year left on his contract, and the forward has revealed his intentions to return to Brazil in the future.
"I think about it every day, I keep an eye on them," Jesus said of a possible return to Palmeiras.
"It's my dream; I've already made it clear that one day I'll return. I just don't know when – whether it's today or tomorrow – so, yes, I think about it every day.
"It's a club I'm very fond of, I'm a passionate fan. I've said it many times, and my choice when I return to Brazil will always be Palmeiras."
