Jonathan Alberto Levi (born 23 January 1996) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Hungarian club Ferencváros.[1]
Youth years and early senior career
Levi grew up in the locality of Glumslöv, situated between the two cities Helsingborg and Landskrona, to a Swedish mother and an Italian father.[2] He started playing football at the local club Glumslövs FF at a young age.[3]
In 2013, he moved to Eskilsminne IF where he joined up with his older brother Christoffer Levi.[2] He made his professional debut two years later in Division 1, the Swedish third tier. Levi however had a hard time breaking in to the squad and joined HIF Akademi, the feeder team of top flight club Helsingborgs IF, on loan during the summer of 2015. He scored 7 goals in 8 appearances for the fourth tier-side during his short loan spell.[4]
Landskrona BoIS
Ahead of the 2016 season, Levi had a trial with Helsingborgs IF, but was not offered a contract by manager Henrik Larsson.[2] He ultimately signed a two-year deal with Landskrona BoIS in the Swedish third tier.[5]
Levi immediately established himself as a key player at Landskrona, operating on either of the two winger positions or playing as a central attacking midfielder. On 25 August 2016, Levi scored in 3-1–win against then reigning Swedish champions Malmö FF in the Swedish Cup.[6] Even though Landskrona eventually missed out on a promotion,[2] Levi enjoyed much success during his first full season at senior level, scoring 8 goals in 25 matches.[7]
Östers IF
In November 2016, Levi was sold to Östers IF in Superettan. He signed a three-year deal with the Växjö-based club.[8] Levi made his debut for his new side on 2 April 2017 in an away fixture against Falkenbergs FF, where he settled the score to 2–0 in stoppage time.[9]
Levi went on to score 5 goals in 11 games during the first half of the 2017 season.[10] His performances at Öster reportedly led to interest from BK Häcken, IFK Norrköping and Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, the Swedish top tier.[11]
Rosenborg BK
On 8 July 2017, Levi transferred to Rosenborg, reigning champions of Eliteserien.[12] He signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the club,[13] and the transfer fee was reportedly set at 8 million Swedish kronor with 2.1 million in additional bonuses (approximately £0.9 million in total).[14]
Puskás Akadémia
On 23 January 2023, Levi signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Puskás Akadémia in Hungary.[15]
Ferencváros
On 17 June 2025, he was signed by Nemzeti Bajnokság I record champion Ferencváros.[16][17] He was given the number 10 shirt.[18] On 9 August 2025, he scores his first goal for Ferencváros in a 4-1 victory over Nyíregyháza Spartacus FC in the 2025–26 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[19]
International career
In June 2017, Levi was called up to the Swedish U21 national team by manager Roland Nilsson for a training camp ahead of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[20][21]
He made his debut for the Sweden senior national team on 11 January 2019 in a friendly against Iceland, as a starter.[22]
