Gabriel Jesus has been on Palmeiras’ radar for some time, but it is widely believed that the move would be too expensive for the club to pursue.
While this might lead them to abandon the idea of signing the striker, the links between them and their former player persist.
Jesus began his career at the Brazilian club before moving to the Premier League, initially joining Manchester City.
He has since become a key player at Arsenal, following Mikel Arteta and swapping his former club for the Emirates.
Jesus is a very useful squad player at Arsenal and always puts in maximum effort when called upon.
However, Arsenal may be open to his departure as they look to sign a more lethal striker.
Palmeiras is eager to capitalise on this situation, and a report from Bolavip claims they aim to sign Jesus before the next Club World Cup.
They believe that bringing him back will give them a chance to make a strong impression in the tournament and other competitions.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jesus is struggling to score goals for us, and we must consider selling him in the summer, especially if we sign a new striker who will improve our squad.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

If a suitable offer arrives (and I don’t think Arsenal will make much of a profit, if any, on a deal) which Jesus is OK with then Arsenal should accept in my opinion.
After all, what is the club getting for his reported annual salary of £13.5m+ a year? Four EPL goals last season and on-going fitness problems. Is it worth it? Hardly. Put the money to better use – as our US owners might say, we need more bang for the buck.
He will be sold in the summer. Ethan Nwaneri coming on before him yesterday when we needed a goal shows Arteta’s trust in him is waning by the day. He can play on the right whenever Saka needs a rest though.
Don’t risk Jesus getting injured again, so give him sub minutes and keep him healthy and sell in January if possible.
Sterling can be backup for Saka on RW and Martinelli/Trossard on the LW.
Jesus as striker is toothless, rather see Trossard because he has a chance of scoring.
