Paquetá to Flamengo could be Brazil’s costliest signing, see ranking | OneFootball

How much will Flamengo get for signing Lucas Paquetá?

Flamengo is close to signing Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG). The English team has agreed to receive around 41 million euros (R$ 256 million) for the midfielder. Thus, the Ninho's prodigy could become the most expensive signing in the history of Brazilian football.

Currently, the most expensive signing in the history of Brazilian football is Gerson, by Cruzeiro. At the beginning of the season, the Minas Gerais team paid R$ 168 million to Zenit (RUS) for the midfielder. However, the possible arrival of Paquetá could far surpass that of the former Flamengo player.

What are the most expensive signings in Brazilian football?

1st Gerson – R$ 168 million 2nd Vitor Roque – R$ 162 million 3rd Samuel Lino – R$ 150 million 4th Danilo – R$ 143 million 5th Pedro – R$ 138 million

It is worth noting that Flamengo currently has two players in the top-5 of the ranking among the biggest signings in Brazilian football. This is because the Most Beloved paid R$ 162 million for Samuel Lino and R$ 138 million for Pedro.

The arrival of Paquetá, therefore, would greatly surpass that of Samuel Lino and Pedro. Moreover, Flamengo will have three signings in the top-6 of the ranking, demonstrating the red-black's strength in the transfer market.

What is Flamengo's next game?

On the field, Flamengo focuses its attention on the match against São Paulo, for the first round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis.
