Internazionale

On 30 January 2012, Juan Jesus joined

Lazio after coming on as a last-minute substitute for Diego Milito.[8]

During the 2012–13 season, Juan Jesus emerged as part of Inter's first choice starting XI, featuring alongside Andrea Ranocchia and Walter Samuel in a 3–5–2 system. He scored his first goal on 19 May 2013 in a 2–5 home defeat against Udinese, the last match of the domestic season.[9] He ended the year with 44 appearances in all competitions, including 31 in Serie A with Inter, who finished the season in a disappointing ninth place and failed to qualify for either next season's UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

On 12 July 2013, Juan Jesus took the number 5 shirt after the departure of long-time player

Real Madrid in the United States, which ended in a 3–0 loss.[11]

On 24 September 2013, Juan Jesus renewed his contract with Inter until 2018 with a reported wage of €1.2 million per year.[12][13]

Juan Jesus made his 100th appearance for Inter on 4 February 2015 in a game against

Stadio San Paolo thanks to a late winner by Gonzalo Higuaín.[14][15]

Roma

On 14 July 2016, Juan Jesus joined

2016–17 season, meaning that Jesus would join Roma on a permanent deal in the summer transfer window.[17]

Napoli

On 18 August 2021, Juan Jesus joined

Napoli on a season-long deal with an option to extend his contract for the 2022–23 season.[18]

International career

After having played in the under-18 and under-19 national teams, in early 2010, Juan Jesus was selected to the under-20 team by its manager, Ney Franco. In January 2011, he took part in the team's triumph at the 2011 South American U-20 Championship in Peru, playing all eight matches of the competition. In the same year, he participated in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, where Brazil reached the final against Portugal. Juan played the entire match, helping his side to a 3–2 victory after extra time.[19]

Juan Jesus made his Brazilian first team debut against Denmark on 26 May 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 away victory.[20]

Juan Jesus started in the centre of defence, alongside captain Thiago Silva, in all of Brazil's matches at the 2012 London Olympics, helping the nation to a silver medal.

He was an unused substitute as Brazil defeated Argentina 2–0 to win the 2014 Superclásico de las Américas in Beijing.[21]

Since all his caps for Brazil were friendly matches, Juan did not rule out his chance to play for Italy national football team instead.[22] However, it was reported that Juan did not have Italian citizenship (or citizenship of any European Union member), making him ineligible to Italy.[23][24]
