Bundesliga is coming: 5️⃣ Brazilians to watch in the championship 🇩🇪 | OneFootball

The Bundesliga kicks off this Friday (22) with the match between Bayern Munich and Leipzig.

And already in the opening match, at the Allianz Arena, we can have the first Brazilian participation in the new championship.

Striker Rômulo, recently signed by Leipzig, has a chance to make his debut for the club.

In just a few days of work at his new home, he has already received praise from the team's coach, Ole Werner.

"He's in shape and made a very good impression," Werner revealed in an interview on Thursday (21).

But Rômulo is not the only Brazilian who deserves a closer look throughout this Bundesliga season.

OneFootball brings you all the players from the country who are in top German clubs and highlights five names that may gain more prominence in the coming months.

Rômulo

Forward | Leipzig | 23 years old

He had little prominence in Brazilian football, with Athletico-PR, and shone with Göztepe, from Turkey, in the last season.

Rômulo's performances made Leipzig spend 20 million euros on him after selling Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United.

Only two Brazilians were signed for a higher value in Bundesliga history: Douglas Costa and Amoroso.

Yan Couto

Right-back | Borussia Dortmund | 23 years old

Yan Couto was definitively signed by Borussia Dortmund this year, also for 20 million euros.

He has already played for the club in the last season, but his passage so far is discreet and marked by physical problems.

Couto competes for a spot in the starting lineup with Julian Ryerson, who has more defensive characteristics.

Arthur

Right-back | Bayer Leverkusen | 22 years old

Another right-back who is fighting for a spot in the starting lineup and has been dealing with injuries.

Arthur was signed by Leverkusen two years ago and has shown little of what was expected of him so far.

Jeremie Frimpong was sold, but the club recently signed Ernest Poku, who is expected to compete with the Brazilian for space on the right side.

Kauã Santos

Goalkeeper | Eintracht Frankfurt | 22 years old

The goalkeeper, trained at Flamengo, took advantage of Kevin Trapp's injury this year to shine with good performances.

However, Kauã ended up suffering a serious knee injury and missed the final stretch of the last season.

Trapp was sold, and now the path is open for the Brazilian to be the team's starter, even with the signing of goalkeeper Michael Zetterer.

Vinícius Souza

Defensive midfielder | Wolfsburg | 26 years old

So far, he is the most expensive signing of Wolfsburg in this transfer window, costing 15 million euros.

In the last two years, he played for Sheffield United, who competed in the second English division in 2024/25.

Vinícius was already a starter in the new team in the first round of the German Cup match last Saturday (16).

Check below the other Brazilians who are currently in Bundesliga clubs:

Rogério

Left-back | Wolfsburg | 27 years old

Bernardo

Defender | Hoffenheim | 30 years old

Leo Scienza

Midfielder | Heidenheim | 26 years old
