Brasileirão round-up: what changed at clubs during the Copa break | OneFootball

The Brazilian Championship returns this Thursday (16)!

During the break for the 2026 World Cup, the transfer market in Série A was marked by financial caution.

So far, the league has recorded more departures (51) than arrivals (38).

Defense was the top priority for club directors, with 12 center-backs signed.

The attack comes right behind, with 11 new names announced.

🏆 Transfer Market Highlights

Biggest spender: Cruzeiro opened the wallet and leads the spending, shelling out around R$ 90 million to sign Gabriel Rojas and Gabriel Pec.

Busiest club: Mirassol was the most active in reshaping its squad, bringing in six reinforcements and arranging four departures.

World Cup signing: Grêmio landed the biggest international attraction of the window. The Porto Alegre club signed midfielder Jovane Cabral through the end of 2027 after he stood out for Cape Verde against Spain and Argentina at the current World Cup.

Only coaching change: Vasco was the only club to change managers, sacking Renato Gaúcho and betting on Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel.

No news: Bragantino, Botafogo, Corinthians, Flamengo, and Santos have not yet announced any signings. In the case of the São Paulo duo (Corinthians and Santos), the inactivity is due to FIFA transfer bans imposed over unpaid debts from previous deals.

📅 Transfer Window Deadlines

July 6 to 17: Extra CBF window, exclusive to domestic transfers.

July 20 to September 11: Opening of the second regular window, allowing the registration of reinforcements from abroad.
