However, Jesus did have the chance to go back to Brazil, with Palmeiras putting in an offer.

"Gabriel Jesus is not coming," club president Leila Pereira said.

"We got in touch with Arsenal, and they said: 'Leila, there are no conditions whatsoever. We are not going to negotiate the player.'

"The subject is closed."
