Lucas Paquetá tops Brasileirão value drop list, see rankings | OneFootball

Lucas Paquetá appears as the player who has lost the most market value among athletes in the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo’s midfielder saw a reduction of €5 million (R$29.4 million at the current exchange rate) and is now valued at €27 million (R$158.8 million) on the list.

Developed by Flamengo, Lucas Paquetá built his career in European football with spells at Milan, Olympique Lyon, and West Ham United before returning to the Rio club. The new valuation, however, indicates a drop compared to his previous value.

The market considers factors such as age, performance, injury history, contract length, and transfer potential. Therefore, a drop in valuation does not necessarily represent a proportional change in the player’s sporting importance.

Paulinho and Fabricio Bruno also decline

Paulinho, from Palmeiras, also appears among the biggest drops. Signed for €18 million (R$105.8 million), the forward dealt with physical problems and played 25 matches, with five goals and two assists.

Fabricio Bruno, formerly of Flamengo, lost €2 million (R$11.7 million) and is now valued at €10 million (R$58.6 million). Other players also recorded reductions. At Grêmio, Francis Amuzu, Juan Nardoni, and Tetê appear in the survey.

Internacional, in turn, saw drops involving Kayky, Vitinho, Matheus Cunha, Walace, and Thiago Maia. At Corinthians, Memphis Depay went from €7 million (R$41.7 million) to €6 million (R$35.2 million).

Young players lead the biggest increases

At the other end, the biggest rises are concentrated mainly among younger players. Arthur Dias, from Athletico-PR, leads the ranking, with an increase of €12 million (R$70.5 million) and a new estimated value of €15 million (R$88.2 million).

Kevin Viveros, also from Athletico-PR, gained €10 million (R$58.8 million) and reached €20 million (R$117.6 million). Otávio, from Cruzeiro, increased by €9.5 million (R$55.8 million) and is now worth €10 million (R$58.8 million).

Flaco López, from Palmeiras, and Samuel Lino, from Flamengo, also rose by €5 million (R$29.4 million), reaching €30 million (R$176.4 million) and €20 million (R$117.6 million), respectively.

Andrés Gómez, Evertton Araújo, Álvaro Montoro, Jonathan Jesus, Nicolás Acevedo, Pedro Morisco, Renê, and Ramon Rique each gained €4 million (R$23.5 million) in value. The survey shows how age, performance, and transfer potential can quickly change players’ valuations.
