Palmeiras’ 19-year-old attacker Gabriel Jesus once again featured in Spanish newspaper SPORT on Monday.
After reporting the interest of Barcelona in Gabriel Jesus, the publication has brought statements from the player, who says it would be “a dream” to play for the Catalan club. Gabriel Jesus talked to the newspaper after Palmeiras’ 3-1 victory over Santa Cruz on Saturday at Allianz Parque. According to the report, Barcelona director Raül Sanllehí is in São Paulo to accelerate the negotiations, and important steps could be made this week.
Gabriel said: “To go to Barça would be a dream. I’m aware of my conditions, I know my potential and what I can do. I’m working really hard. I push myself to the limit to do what I like the most, which is playing football. I’m really enjoying myself. I have the best family and I receive the best guidance. I really trust in them, as they’ve always advised me throughout my life. But it’s me who takes the decisions.”
