Clean sheets

4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.3, Jonathan carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
