Jonathan Cícero Moreira (born 27 February 1986) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Atlético Paranaense. He is commonly known simply as Jonathan. He also holds Italian citizenship and could potentially play for the Italian national team. He is nicknamed Il Divino (The Divine), by Interisti.
Jonathan made his professional debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro for Cruzeiro against Santos in a 3–2 home win on 24 July 2005. He scored his first goal as professionist against Corinthians in a 3–0 away win on 25 August 2007.
In December 2010, Jonathan signed with Santos for €2 million (with Cruzeiro retained 50% registration rights). Santos paid €1.2 million to acquire 30% while Santos's investment partner Terceira Estrela Investimentos S/A (TEISA) acquired 20% for €800,000. He signed a 4-year contract with €15 million release clause. He won Campeonato Paulista and Copa Libertadores with Santos.
On 13 July 2011, it was announced that Jonathan would leave Santos to train with Serie A giants Inter Milan, pending the finalization of the transfer. Two days later, on July 15, he officially became an Inter player, signing a four-year contract. Jonathan made his Inter debut on 11 September 2011 in week two of 2011–12 Serie A, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–3 away loss to Palermo. Three days later Jonathan made his Champions League debut, playing the entire match on Matchday 1 against Turkish side Trabzonspor in a 0–1 loss at the San Siro.
