Jonathan Jesus has been a key player for Cruzeiro this season, starting 21 of the team's 27 games since April. The 20-year-old centre-back has been in high demand, with several clubs interested in signing him. However, Cruzeiro has so far rejected all offers, valuing the player at 20 million euros.
The club's stance is a significant change from last year, when they considered selling Jesus to the Zenit for 10 million euros (R$ 60 million). However, with the player's form and importance to the team, Cruzeiro is now seeking a much higher fee. The club has closed its doors to any further transfer offers, with Jesus expected to receive a salary increase as a result of his performances.
