"I would like to thank the fans for the welcome and for how well they have treated me. I can say that it was the best decision I've made in my life to come to Manchester City because whilst I'm here I'm improving as a professional and as a person," Jesus told City's official website.
"Also thanks to the club for being so organised and focused since I arrived. Pep had an important role in my signing, but also the club. City is a huge club and it is getting bigger and bigger so I just want to say thanks for everything. I hope that I can keep making the fans happy."
The 21-year-old netted 17 goals in all competitions for City during the 2017-18 campaign before representing Brazil at the World Cup.
