Due to this inflated fee, Palmeiras will receive €9.6 million [30% of the player’s rights], with €14.4million to be split between Jesus’s agents Fabio Caran and Cristiano Simoes, whilst the player himself would receive €8million.

Gabriel Jesus is believed to have spoken with the City boss over the prospect of joining the club and has now claimed he has informed Palmeiras of where he wants to move and expects a transfer to be concluded soon.

He scored 19 goals in 31 games for Palmeiras last season and was included in Brazil’s provisional 40-man squad for the Copa America Centenario in the United States. In a recent interview, Jesus had confirmed that he had already chosen his next destination.

Not only with him, but also told other players how it feels to play for Barcelona and to live in the city, ‘ Neymar said in a press conference quoted by Globosporte.

While his focus now is on his country’s home Games, he promised his destination will be known “before long”.
