Jonathan Dos Santos (born on April 26th 1990 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican football player, currently playing for FC Barcelona Atlètic, the second tiered Barcelona team. Jonathan Dos Santos is also the younger brother of Giovani Dos Santos of Tottenham Hotspur, and Éder dos Santos of Club America. Football scouts indicate that Jonathan Dos Santos has a lot of talent, possibly even more than his brother Giovani Dos Santos. It has been reported that Jonathan Dos Santos has received many offers to join the national teams of Spain, Mexico (were he was originally born), and Brazil, though nothing has been confirmed yet and he will for now join the Mexican national team. He has already played for the Mexico U-17 team.
He is currently making the pre-season with the Barcelona senior team in England along with the Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Rafael Marquez, and some others even though many other players will not report to Barcelona until the team goes to U.S.A. He has many possibilities of joining the senior team for the 2009-2010 season because he had already played with the senior team before in the Cataluña cup, he trained during one week with the senior team last season because "Pep" Guardiola wanted to try him out, Guardiola always talks excellent about him and it is said that Jonathan is Guardiola's favorite player from Barcelona's youth teams. There's rumors about that he will also join the senior team in the U.S.A when the senior team will be complete (after also doing pre-season with the senior team in England) to finally join the senior team for the 2009-2010 season
