They explain that Palmeiras have long been dreaming of bringing Jesus back to the club after he broke through as a youngster and scored 29 goals in 83 games for them before his €32m move to Manchester City in 2017.
The striker built a ‘great history’ with the club, and they’ve been trying since the beginning of this year to try and close a deal with Arsenal for him.
The belief is that the Gunners would be happy to let the Brazilian go as a series of injuries have limited him to just 74 appearances in two years following his €52.2m move from Manchester City.
He’s lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s first team and Arsenal would be willing to accept a deal worth around €40m.
That would be a huge amount of money for any Brazilian club, but Palmeiras are one that have the capacity to make ‘heavy payments’. They also want to sign a big-name centre-forward for the Club World Cup.
Their fans would 100% support the transfer and believe the signing would give them a chance of winning several titles next season.
It all depends on Arsenal but there is seemingly a belief, at least in Brazil, that there is a deal there to be done.
