In an Instagram post, he gave an emotional good-bye message to the club that changed his life.
"How painful it is to say goodbye to what has transformed your life and your family," wrote Jesus, translated from Portuguese.
"I confess that at this point in writing this letter it is difficult to hold back the emotion.
"There's a film in my head. Film with happy ending. As they always say, life passes by very quickly. Enjoy it while it's time.
"I enjoyed every second with Palmeiras - this team gave me the chance to have a profession, to have friends, to have a better life, to make my dream come true. Palmeiras was my great school."
