In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jesus.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

Goals / app

3 goals in 10 appearances (0.3 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.8, Jesus carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 53 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
