Gabriel scored 28 goals in 85 matches for Palmeiras while he has netted five times in six games for Brazil and also contributed to their gold medal success at the 2016 Olympics.
“I want to win titles and Manchester City is a club that is used to winning,” he told City’s official website.
“City is a Club that always competes for the title in the competitions it enters, so that was an important factor, and because of the manager, Guardiola, and the squad.”
Gabriel will wear the No.33 shirt and could make his debut in Saturday’s crunch clash against title rivals Tottenham.
