He amassed La Liga totals of 184 matches and 28 goals over nine seasons, representing in the competition Sevilla, Celta and Real Sociedad.
After making his professional debut with hometown's Sevilla FC, playing one game in the closing stages of the 1996–97 season (a 3–1 home win over RCD Espanyol),[1] with the Andalusia side ultimately being relegated from La Liga, the skilled player alternated between the A and B sides before being definitely promoted for the 1998–99 campaign, which ended in a return to the top division.
[2][3] In his second spell at Sevilla, Jesuli appeared sporadically: he was restricted to Copa del Rey matches in 2006–07 and not registered at all – alongside teammate Fernando Sales – in the following season, while also hampered by several injuries.
[8][9] According to newspaper El Mundo, Jesuli was recorded by Iñaki Badiola, president of Real Sociedad, in a conversation where he confirmed that the players of Tenerife received around €6.000 each to lose the last match of the 2007–08 season, against Málaga CF.
During the conversation, Badiola and Jesuli also speculate that the possible money dealer was Lorenzo Sanz (former president of Real Madrid), whose son, Fernando, occupied the chairman position at Málaga.
