Mini bio
How it started.
Gabriel grew up in Jardim Peri in northern São Paulo, with his mother Vera Lúcia supporting his football ambitions. In his own Players’ Tribune essay, he remembers playing against grown men in the local várzea leagues at 13, before his route into professional football opened up.
The breakthrough.
He made his Palmeiras first-team debut in March 2015. A Brazilian cup win that year was followed by the 2016 league title and recognition as the league’s best player. Manchester City brought him to England in 2017.
Building his career.
Across five and a half years at City he scored 95 goals in 236 appearances and won four Premier League titles. He moved to Arsenal in July 2022, then joined Barcelona in September 2026 on a deal running to June 2029.
Still connected to home.
His telephone goal celebration is a thank-you to his mother and the people who helped him. He also sponsors an Easter chocolate distribution in Jardim Peri, a tradition dating to 2017.
