Flamengo graduate among Premier League's priciest Brazilians | OneFootball

Which Flamengo academy product is on the list of the most valuable players in the Premier League?

The Premier League season ended with Wolves (ENG) being relegated to England’s second division. Despite the drop, João Gomes is one of the most valuable Brazilian players in the English league. The Flamengo academy product could move to Atlético de Madrid (ESP).

According to the latest Transfermarkt update, the defensive midfielder developed by Mengo is valued at 40 million euros (R$ 236.2 million). That figure puts him in 11th place among the most expensive Brazil-born players in the Premier League.

Who is the most valuable?

Despite the injury that ruled him out of the World Cup, Estêvão is the most valuable Brazilian player currently active in the English league. The forward developed by Palmeiras, who is at Chelsea (ENG), is valued at 80 million euros (R$ 472.3 million).

How many names are on the list?

Transfermarkt’s survey includes 33 Brazilians. That means João Gomes is more valuable than, for example, midfielder André, who came through at Fluminense. His fellow midfielder is valued at 25 million euros (R$ 147.6 million).

Is there another ex-Flamengo player on the list?

Besides João Gomes, another red-and-black representative on the list of the most valuable players is striker Rodrigo Muniz. Fulham’s (ENG) Brazilian top scorer is worth 20 million euros (R$ 118 million).

Does anyone want to buy João Gomes?

There is a chance that the product of Flamengo’s youth academy will play for Atlético de Madrid next season. The transfer, however, could exceed the R$ 236.2 million valuation set by the specialized website.

Besides being a major step forward in the midfielder’s career, the deal would also be good news for Fla. That’s because Mengo still owns a percentage of the player’s economic rights. As a result, the Most Beloved could receive around R$ 35 million if the sale goes through.
