Jonas Gabriel da Silva Nunes (born 30 May 1999), known as Jonas Toró or simply Toró, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Botafogo-PB, on loan from Portuguesa.

Club career

Early career

Born in Belém de São Francisco, Pernambuco, Toró played amateur matches in his hometown before playing for Comercial Esporte Clube de Salto at the age of 16. He then played for Primavera before moving to the youth sides of São Paulo in early 2017.[1]

Initially on loan, Toró was the top scorer of the 2018 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, and signed a permanent contract with the club in July of that year.[2]

São Paulo

Toró with São Paulo in 2022

Promoted to the first team for the 2019 season, Toró made his first team – and Série A – debut with Tricolor on 27 April 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Alexandre Pato in a 2–0 home win over Botafogo.[3] Four days later, he was handed his first start and scored his team's second in a 2–1 away success over Goiás.[4][5]

Regularly used under head coach Cuca, Toró lost space after the arrival of Fernando Diniz.[6]

Loan to Sport Recife

On 9 March 2021, Sport Recife announced the signing of Toró on loan until the end of the year.[7] Regularly used in the 2021 Campeonato Pernambucano, he alleged unpaid wages in June, and stated his desire to leave the club.[8]

Loan to Atlético Goianiense

On 16 July 2021, Toró moved to fellow top tier side Atlético Goianiense also on loan.[9] He was used as a substitute at the side, coming off the bench in all 15 appearances, as the club finished ninth.

Return from loan

Back to his parent club, Toró was included back in the first team of São Paulo by head coach Rogério Ceni in January 2022.[10] He scored on his first match back at the club, a 3–0 win at Mirassol on 15 March,[11] but only featured in a further five matches during that season.

Panathinaikos

On 4 August 2022, Toró moved abroad and was announced at Greek side Panathinaikos on a three-year contract.[12]

Loan to Levadiakos

On 7 September 2022, Toró was loaned to fellow Super League Greece side Levadiakos for the season.[13] He only played 16 matches overall, as the club suffered relegation.

Botafogo-SP

On 10 July 2023, Toró returned to Brazil and agreed to a one-year loan deal with Botafogo-SP in the Série B.[14] On 18 July of the following year, after establishing himself as a regular starter, he signed a permanent deal with the club until June 2026.[15]

Loan to Ponte Preta

On 3 April 2025, after losing his starting spot, Toró was loaned to Ponte Preta.[16] He immediately became a first-choice at his new side, helping them to win the 2025 Série C by scoring eight goals, being the competition's top scorer.[17]

Náutico

On 17 December 2025, Náutico announced the signing of Toró, after terminating his link with Botafogo.[18] The following 25 March, after just four matches, he left the club by mutual consent.[19]

Portuguesa

On 26 March 2026, a day after leaving Náutico, Toró signed a contract with Portuguesa in the Série D until April 2027.[20]

Loan to Botafogo-PB

On 7 August 2026, after Lusa's elimination in the fourth division, Toró was loaned to Botafogo-PB in the third tier.[21]

International career

In December 2018, Toró was called up to the Brazil national under-20 team for the 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[22] He played in eight matches during the competition, as the nation narrowly missed out a spot in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
