Brazil is not having a good time in international football. Brazil’s national team has been struggling since its exit from the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar . Not only the national team, but the country’s age group is also struggling. The champions of the last two Olympics could not pass the selection hurdle this time. Losing to arch-rivals Argentina , they are out of the regional qualifiers.
Even if Brazil can’t do well in the country’s jersey, their club football situation is not like that at all. Brazil’s Fluminense are the current champions of the Copa Libertadores, South America’s premier club football competition. Even looking at January’s reshuffle, Brazilian club football is in a state of flux. According to FIFA’s calculations, this time Brazil was on top of player ‘import-export’.
According to the information given by FIFA, 409 footballers went to play in Brazil from abroad during the winter transfer. Which is the highest among FIFA member countries. Brazil had to spend 12 million 26 million dollars to buy these players. In terms of the number of players, Brazil ranks fifth in terms of money. France is the most expensive. Clubs of the country spent 29 million 19 million dollars to buy 114 players. Which is 121 percent more than the same period of the previous year.
Portugal is number 2 behind Brazil. 252 footballers have registered there in this year’s team change. The country’s clubs have spent 41.5 million dollars to buy players. Brazil’s arch-rival Argentina is third in terms of players. It cost the country 40 million dollars to buy 226 players.
