Tottenham, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are eyeing 22-year-old Cruzeiro defender Jonathan Jesus. The club is asking for €20 million and has previously turned down Zenit and Benfica.
Premier League clubs have entered a fierce battle for 22-year-old Brazilian centre-back Jonathan Jesus from Cruzeiro.
The scouting departments of London’s Tottenham and Chelsea are closely monitoring the player's performances, while Nottingham Forest is also seriously weighing up a move before the window closes.
Cruzeiro’s hierarchy has set a hefty financial barrier: negotiations will only begin if a potential buyer offers over €20 million.
Previously, the Brazilian club has shown reluctance, rejecting official bids from Benfica, Zenit, and Real Sociedad.
Jesus has been with the Belo Horizonte club since July 2024, and his current contract runs until June 2029. In the 2025/2026 season, he featured in 15 matches in Brazil's Serie A.
