According to Sport FM, Chelsea is closely monitoring Jonathan Jesus and may take more decisive action if they believe he fits their plans. Cruzeiro is demanding a sum of over 20 million euros to begin negotiations for a permanent transfer.

The BlueCo group, which controls both Chelsea and Strasbourg, showed interest in 22-year-old Brazilian defender Jonathan Jesus this season. He has also been scouted by other European clubs, including Bétis, Valencia, and Benfica, who have all promised to make proposals. Jesus joined his current club Cruzeiro in July 2024, and his contract runs until 2029. He has made 15 appearances in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A this season, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m.
