Gabriel Jesus has ruled out leaving Arsenal before his contract expires in 2027.
The Brazilian has been out of action since January 13th, when he damaged his anterior cruciate ligament in an FA Cup match against Manchester United.
He is nearing his recovery and has been in training with Arsenal for the past two weeks.
According to the Daily Mirror, Arsenal has a list of four players they are willing to split ways with in January, including Jesus.
However, Jesus has denied rumors that he may quit the Emirates and has stated that he will not depart till his contract expires in 2027.
Speaking to Globo Esporte, Jesus confessed that he would like to return to Palmeiras someday, but not right now.

He stated, “I’m really grateful to Palmeiras; it’s the team I love, and I’ve told some of the players there that one day I’ll return.
“But not at the moment; I have a contract with Arsenal until 2027 and would like to stay here. If for any reason both parties agree that we cannot continue beyond that, at least until 2027, I will be present.”
Jesus played four years at the club, two in the junior system and two in the first team, before joining Manchester City in 2017. In 83 appearances, he scored 28 goals and won both the Brasileiro Serie A and the Copa do Brazil.
He also spoke about his injury, which he is nearing returning from. He said: “As surprising as it is, mentally I have been okay.”
