Manchester City-bound striker Gabriel Jesus described his time at Palmeiras as a "film with a happy ending" as he departed Brazil for his new home on Monday.
"It's hard to say goodbye to something that was so good to me," the 19-year-old wrote in a letter to fans on Instagram.
"It had its difficulties and there were times when I wanted to give up but I believed in my dream and it came true.
"I confess that it's difficult to contain my emotion as I write this letter. A film is going through my head. A film with a happy ending."
Manchester City agreed to pay 27 million British pounds for Jesus in August, beating off interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
