Jesé Rodríguez, who once was one of the biggest promises in Spanish football, continues to add disappointing chapters to his career. Now, at 31 years old, the Canary Islands forward is trying to revive his football at Johor FC in the Malaysian League, but the outlook couldn't be more discouraging. Since his arrival, he has only played for 30 minutes and has been called up in just three matches, a start that reflects his struggle to reclaim the lost spotlight.

The striker, who was introduced as a star reinforcement in October after almost a year without a team, seems to not find his place. His last club, the Brazilian Coritiba, terminated his contract in November 2023 after an inconsequential stint with only six games played. His recent track record doesn't help either: at Sampdoria in Italy and Ankaragücü in Turkey, he left modest numbers that confirmed his decline.

Jesé, the promise that never came to fruition

Jesé was, at one point, one of the great promises of Real Madrid. His breakthrough in Castilla and promotion to the first team showed flashes of talent that inspired the fans. However, a serious injury in 2014 marked a turning point in his career. Following his time at PSG, where he also failed to establish himself, his career began to dim, further affected by his life off the field.

Today, far from the spotlight and in a less competitive football environment, Jesé continues to seek redemption. His adventure in Malaysia, which promised a fresh start, seems to be heading towards another tale of failure in a career full of unfulfilled promises.
