💵 R$1.3bn: Brazil moves 5x more money than other South American leagues | OneFootball

Brazilian football remains dominant when it comes to money in the South American continent.

According to a FIFA report released last Wednesday (3), the clubs in the Brasileirão Serie A spent more than R$ 1.3 billion on signings between June and September, an amount five times greater than all the other Conmebol leagues combined (R$ 252 million).

Flamengo, Botafogo, and Palmeiras led the investments with million-dollar transactions such as Danilo for the Alvinegro and Samuel Lino for the Rubro-Negro – R$ 143 million each.

The Brasileirão also set a new record in a second consecutive window, surpassing the numbers from mid-2024.

In sales, the performance was also strong: Brazilian clubs collected R$ 1.719 billion, compared to R$ 1.34 billion from other South American leagues.

Among the highlights are the departures of Matheus Gonçalves (Flamengo), John (Botafogo), Richard Ríos (Palmeiras), Arias (Fluminense), and Lucas Ferreira (São Paulo).

With the window closed, clubs can now only sign free agents in the market.
