He was loaned to the lower leagues after failing to establish himself in Brighton, where he began to reveal his potential. He has scored 21 goals and 12 assists in 49 games for Coventry in the 2022-23 season. Sporting Lisbon, 예스벳 which recognized Jorequez’s potential, has invested 17.5 million pounds (about 31 billion won).
Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Joquerez was chosen by Coach Huweng Amorim and wore Sporting’s uniform. Joquerez made tremendous performances from the first season of Sporting.

His stellar performance in Sporting Lisbon is sufficient to draw attention from big clubs. Ahead of this season, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain sought to recruit Jorequez. However, as Sporting set a high price of 100 million euros, big clubs were withdrawn from the recruitment race.
However, there has been constant interest in Jorequez, and Sporting Lisbon also plans to accept it if it is an appropriate transfer offer. On the 8th, British Sky Sports said, “Premier League clubs can recruit Jokeres for £63 million next summer.” Jokeres also has four years left on his contract, which includes a £83 million release clause.
