Flamengo spending lifts Brasileirão to third in global January transfer rankings

The Brasileirão is the third most valuable league this window, with Flamengo largely driving that rise after bringing Lucas Paquetá back in a record deal.

According to Transfermarkt, Brazilian clubs spent 201.5 million euros in January. The Premier League led with 453 million euros.

Alongside fees for Vitão and Andrew, Flamengo is paying R$ 260 million to West Ham for Paquetá, the costliest transfer in Brazilian football history.

Only Europe’s window has closed. Brazil’s transfer period runs until 3 March.

After frustration in moves for Kaio Jorge and Taty Castellanos, Flamengo continue to seek a striker to compete with Pedro. José Boto has said he does not plan to sign just anyone.
