He started every game as Brazil reached this summer’s World Cup quarter-finals, where they lost to Belgium.
Jesus has struggled with injury at City, breaking a metatarsal in his foot and suffering a knee injury.
He has described joining the club as the:
“best decision I’ve made in my life”.
Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain added: “Gabriel is undoubtedly one of the best young forwards in world football.”
City face last season’s FA Cup winners Chelsea in the Community Shield on Sunday (15:00 BST kick-off).
