Palmeiras 'opened the wallet' to chase Flamengo

Brazilian clubs continue to move in the transfer window in search of new reinforcements. Flamengo 'calmed the spirits' after bringing four players: Samuel Lino, Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal and Carrascal. On the other hand, Palmeiras remains active in the market and has already spent nearly R$ 400 million more than Fla during this period.

Palmeiras, in fact, secured the signing of Andreas Pereira, former Flamengo player, for ten million euros (R$ 63.2 million). Thus, the team from São Paulo has invested R$ 702 million in the 2025 season. On the other hand, the red-black board spent just under R$ 309 million in the year.

Which clubs invested the most in reinforcements in 2025?

How did Flamengo move in the 2025 windows?

Flamengo chose not to invest 'exorbitant' amounts in the first two transfer windows. The red-black board secured the signing of forward Juninho, from Qarabag (AZE), for about R$ 37 million. In addition, Danilo and Jorginho also joined Mengão, but arrived 'for free', after terminating their contracts with Juventus (ITA) and Arsenal (ENG), respectively.

However, after the Club World Cup, Flamengo 'dived' into the market and opened the wallet to bring new reinforcements. Saúl Ñíguez arrived at no cost after terminating with Atlético de Madrid (ESP). At the same time, the Most Beloved invested 43 million euros (about R$ 272 million) in the signings of Emerson Royal, Carrascal and Samuel Lino.

In the Brasileirão, Filipe Luís's team is leading with 46 points, while the team from São Paulo is in second place with 42.
