Jonathan Jesus

Reports from December 2025 and January 2026 detail Zenit's interest. An initial offer of approximately €8 million (also reported as R$50 million) was reportedly rejected by Cruzeiro. Zenit then indicated a willingness to pay €10 million. In response, Cruzeiro reportedly set their valuation at €15 million, also stating they wanted over R$60 million to negotiate. The player's market value was listed at €2.5 million by Transfermarkt in December 2025. This followed his completed transfer from Ceará to Cruzeiro in July 2024 for a reported fee of €1.4 million.

Our valuation for Jonathan Jesus is driven by concrete, recent offers from Zenit and a clear counter-valuation from Cruzeiro in late 2025. Zenit's rejected €8 million bid and subsequent willingness to pay €10 million establish a firm floor, while Cruzeiro's reported €15 million asking price sets the ceiling. The player's rapid appreciation is highlighted by his €1.4 million transfer just six months prior. The estimate represents a plausible compromise point, factoring in Cruzeiro's strong negotiating position after the coach vetoed the sale.
