Looking back: the best signings by Brazilian clubs in 2025 🤝 | OneFootball

The player market with an eye on 2026 is already in full swing, but there's still time to look back at the best of 2025.

The year saw records broken in terms of transfers, with many moves being crucial for the definition of the main titles.

OneFootball reviews here the main acquisitions made by the Brasileirão teams in 2025, listing the top five.

We mainly considered the performance of these athletes on the field. Check out the list below:

5 - Luciano Acosta

FC Dallas ➡️ Fluminense for four million dollars

He joined Fluminense only in August without much fanfare, but quickly showed why he deserved to be a starter.

The Argentine displayed great quality with the ball, delivering beautiful passes and helping the team in the good final stretch of the Brasileirão.

4 - Danilo

Juventus ➡️ Flamengo with no transfer costs

Besides the experience and quality to play when one of the starting defenders was absent, Danilo also had heroic moments.

Flamengo fans will not forget his performance in the Libertadores final, scoring the only goal of the match and saving in the play that could have given Palmeiras the draw.

3 - Vitor Roque

Barcelona ➡️ Palmeiras for 25 million euros

The start was turbulent, and when some were already losing hope in him, came the avalanche of goals.

Forming a duo with Flaco López, Vitor Roque was a central piece in Palmeiras' best moment of the year, scoring goals against rivals and in the knockout stages of the Libertadores.

2 - Fabrício Bruno

Flamengo ➡️ Cruzeiro for seven million euros

Cruzeiro's good results throughout 2025 were due to the defensive solidity provided by Fabrício Bruno.

The defender's good performances earned him two call-ups to represent the Brazilian National Team, keeping alive the dream of going to the World Cup.

1 - Jorginho

Arsenal ➡️ Flamengo with no transfer costs

The expectations were high and the impact was immediate, with good performances from his first games at Flamengo, during the Club World Cup.

Jorginho quickly fit in and was an important piece for the team's success in the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles.
