Club career

Born in Capão da Canoa, Rio Grande do Sul, Jonathan joined Internacional's youth setup in 2009, aged ten, after two years at Juventude.[1] In September 2018, he moved to Avaí and was assigned to their under-20 squad.[2] After being the latter club's top goalscorer in the 2019 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior and the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro de Aspirantes, he was promoted to the main squad by manager Alberto Valentim.

Jonathan made his first team – and Série A – debut on 2 September 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Brenner in a 1–0 away win against Fluminense.[3] He scored his first goal thirteen days later, netting the game's only in an away defeat of Athletico Paranaense.[4]
