The 3-0 victory over Corinthians, achieved on Thursday night, is likely to mark Jhon Jhon’s farewell to Red Bull Bragantino. The player, who scored two goals, chose to dodge questions as he left the field in Bragança, but his move to Zenit, in Russia, is already in progress.
“I want to thank God for everything He has done in my life. I let my agents handle that, and I try to do what I did today, which is to be happy and help Red Bull Bragantino,” said Jhon Jhon in an interview with Record, avoiding talking about his imminent move to the Russian football team.
Jhon Jhon’s likely move to Zenit will also benefit Palmeiras, who own 20% of the rights to the 23-year-old player. Questioned during his time as a player for the Verdão, he developed while wearing the Red Bull Bragantino shirt, to the point of drawing the attention of the Russian club.
Responsible for 13 goals, Jhon Jhon finished the 2025 season as the top scorer for the Bragança Paulista team. With 11 more assists, he reached a total of 24 direct goal involvements in the Campeonato Paulista, Copa do Brasil, and Campeonato Brasileiro.
