Jonas Gonçalves Oliveira (born 1 April 1984), known simply as Jonas (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒõːnais]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Benfica as a striker. He can also play as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Guarani

Jonas started his career at Guarani in 2005. He made his debut against Esporte Clube Santo André. While playing for Guarani, Jonas scored 12 goals in 25 matches.

Santos

In 2006, Jonas transferred to Santos,[1] where he won the 2006 Campeonato Paulista scoring five goals in six matches. However, he had a serious knee injury that kept him out of action for six months.[2]

In 2007, he returned to the pitch and scored four goals in the Paulista, helping Santos won the tournament for the second time in a row.[3] After spending only one year at Santos, Jonas transferred to Grêmio in 2007.

Grêmio

On 12 September 2007, Grêmio signed a four-year deal which transferred 50% of Jonas' rights.[4] He made his debut in the Gre–Nal derby, leaving injured early in the second half.[5]

After the arrival of more forwards in 2008, Jonas lost his place, sometimes even failing to make the reserves list. The most consistent criticism from the press was his lack of physical strength when playing up front against powerful defenders. By July he decided to leave the club.[6]

Portuguesa (loan)

Despite not being able to avoid relegation to Série B, Jonas was one of the best players in the team, scoring 18 goals during his stay, nine in the Campeonato Brasileiro, ahead of teammate Edno's eight.[7]

Return to Grêmio

After the end of the loan Jonas returned to Grêmio for the 2009 season. He played in the 2009 Copa Libertadores, and after playing his worst game in the tournament (incredibly missing three chances to score in the same attack) against Boyacá Chicó F.C. he was dubbed "the worst forward of the world" ("el peor delantero del mundo") by the Spanish magazine Mundo Deportivo.[8][9][10]

However, Jonas scored 14 goals in the 2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and was amongst the top goal scorers. Jonas has enjoyed further success throughout the 2010 season. He was top-scorer for Grêmio in the 2010 Campeonato Gaúcho and finished the top goal scorer in the Série A with 23 goals.[7][11]

Valencia

Due to a low release fee (€1.25 million), Jonas rescinded his contract with Grêmio.[12] He was finally transferred to Spanish club Valencia on 24 January 2011.[13] He got his first goal for Los Che on 27 February, scoring a late winner in a 2–1 away victory for Valencia against Athletic Bilbao.[14] He scored his second goal in an 24 April game against Real Madrid, which ended 3–6.[15]

On 1 November 2011, Jonas scored the second fastest goal in Champions League history by netting inside 10.5 seconds, to give Valencia a 1–0 lead over Bayer Leverkusen.[16] He just fell short of former FC Bayern Munich and Dutch national team striker, Roy Makaay's record of 10.13 seconds that he set against Real Madrid in the 2006–07 edition of the tournament. Valencia won the match 3–1.[17]

He scored both goals for Valencia in a 2–0 Champions League win against Lille OSC on 2 October 2012. Jonas continued the tournament scoring further goals.[18][19] In the season of 2012–13 he scored a personal season high with the Spanish club of 13 goals in league.[20]

On 1 December 2013, Jonas hit an eight-minute hat-trick as Valencia defeated 10-man Osasuna in a home league match.[21] On 1 September, he rescinded his link with the club.[22]

Benfica

On 12 September 2014, Jonas signed for Portuguese champions Benfica on a two-year deal.[23][24]

On 5 October, Jonas debuted for Benfica in a 4–0 win against Arouca, scoring the fourth goal.[25] On 18 October, he scored a hat-trick as Benfica defeated S.C. Covilhã (2–3) in the third round of Taça de Portugal.[26] On 22 November, he scored twice against Moreirense (4–1) in the Portuguese Cup.[27] On 30 December, Jonas scored the only goal in a home win against Nacional in the third round of League Cup,[28] thus scoring in every competition.[29]

On 21 January 2015, Jonas scored at Moreirense in the league cup and became the Brazilian with the best average number of goals in Europe (0.81), surpassing Neymar (0.74) and Luiz Adriano (0.70), with 13 goals in 16 matches.[30] On 28 February, Jonas scored twice in the thrashing of Estoril (6–0) in the league.[31] On 14 March, Jonas scored his 20th goal for Benfica (in 25 matches) and set his season goal record in Europe, as the Eagles beat Braga (2–0) in Primeira Liga.[32] On 4 April, he scored twice against Nacional in the league.[33] On 11 April, he scored twice against Académica (5–1) in the league.[34] On 18 April, he scored twice for a third consecutive league match, in a win at Belenenses (0–2), and became the second best top scorer in Primeira Liga with 16 goals in 22 matches.[35]

On 23 May 2015, after winning the league title, Jonas netted a brace in a home win against Marítimo (4–1) in his last league match of the season in which he could have become the league's top scorer with 21 goals, but one of his three goals was wrongly invalidated for offside.[36][37][38] On 29 May, he scored the first goal in a 2‒1 win against Marítimo in the Taça da Liga final, being elected as the man of the match.[39] In this season he was the top scorer in the league cup with 5 goals,[40] and in the Portuguese Cup with 6 goals.[41] On 4 July, he won the league's Player of the Year award.[42]

International career

Jonas was called up for the Brazil national team for the first time and made his debut in a friendly against Scotland at the Emirates Stadium on 27 March 2011.[43] He came on as a substitute for Leandro Damião in the 78th minute, and Brazil went on to win the match 2–0.[44]

Jonas scored his first goals with the Seleção in a friendly against Egypt on 14 November 2011, netting a brace in a 2–0 victory.[45]

Personal life

On 21 August 2015, Jonas gained Italian citizenship.[46]
