Contrary to what one might think due to his limited playing time in the recently concluded Apertura 2025 tournament, Jonathan Dos Santos will not retire from the pitch. , he has reportedly signed a contract extension for one more tournament with the Eagles of America.

Instead Accustomed throughout his career to improving as the tournament progresses, Jonathan Dos Santos didn't disappoint anyone at the end of the season, delivering a performance in the playoffs against Monterrey that allowed the board to offer him the option of playing his last game in the uniform with which he accumulated several successes.

This was reported on the sports channel TUDN, where it was stated that the eldest brother of the Dos Santos dynasty's contract was set to end after the last playoffs and that both parties would not renew their working relationship. However, the midfielder's performance led the board, headed by Santiago Banos, to reconsider their decision and grant him his release.

In this way, Jonathan will play one more tournament, and it is expected that at the end of the Clausura 2026 championship, the World Cup will be used as an opportunity to honor him for his contribution to America as part of the team's last three-peat.

Jonathan, throughout the regular season, the Champion of Campeones, the Leagues Cup, and the Concacaf Champions League, his playing time was limited due to an injury that sidelined him for six months. However, the playoffs changed everything, and he became a key player. His performance in the quarterfinal series against Monterrey was crucial in convincing Club America's management to reverse their decision and offer him a six-month contract extension. This more favorable arrangement allowed the player to postpone his retirement. Jonathan Dos Santos' contribution was so vital that he took the starting position from the young Alan Cervantes, who had enjoyed a significant and active season. But when experience matters, Giovanni's brother ended up taking advantage of the situation to become the undisputed starter in the Eagles' midfield.Now Jonathan will have to assume a more important role in the preseason to build up his fitness and avoid injuries, making him an important player both in the regular season and the playoffs, especially now that there won't be any national team players in the final stages of the Clausura 2026 tournament. In this way, America is shaping its squad, where it's still rumored that Igor Lichnovsky could leave for Pachuca, and Rodrigo Aguirre and Victor Davila could also depart, but so far there's nothing official from the Eagles' camp.
