In 2014, Jemerson profited from Réver's serious ankle injury, and was a starter for the majority of the year.[5]
Monaco
On 31 January 2016, Jemerson signed for Ligue 1 club Monaco on a five-year contract.[6] He was a starter during the 2016–17 campaign, in which the team won the league and reached the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. He left the club after terminating his contract on 2 November 2020.[7]
Corinthians
On 5 November 2020, Jemerson returned to Brazil as he signed with Corinthians on an eight-month transfer.[8]
Metz
On 8 October 2021, Jemerson signed for Ligue 1 side FC Metz until the end of the season.[9] On 29 April 2022, his contract with Metz was terminated by mutual consent.[10]

On 20 June 2022, Atlético Mineiro announced the return of Jemerson to the club.[11]
Grêmio
On 22 May 2024, Grêmio announced that they had reached an agreement for the signing of Jemerson.[12]
International career
