Flamengo, Palmeiras, Botafogo outspend all other Brasileirão clubs | OneFootball

Part of Flamengo's signings were at zero cost, while another became the club's biggest investment

The elite of Brazilian football has already moved 445.3 million euros (over R$2.8 billion) in signings. The trio Flamengo, Palmeiras and Botafogo, however, invested together more than the other 17 teams of the series A of the Brasileirão. However, all 20 teams have until September 2nd to make deals, which is when the window closes.

According to data from the Transfermarkt website, the trio is responsible for 244.4 million euros (about R$1.5 billion) in signings, while the other 17 clubs together from the Brasileirão spent 200.8 million euros (about R$1.2 billion).

Who of the three spent the most?

At the opposite extreme, São Paulo appears as the only team that has not yet made spending on signings. The team from São Paulo is even behind Mirassol and Juventude, teams considered of lesser expression.

What were Flamengo's expenses?

While reinforcements like Jorginho and Saúl arrived without a transfer fee, disregarding gloves and bonuses, the club heavily invested in Samuel Lino. The striker who was at Atlético de Madrid (ESP) is the most expensive signing in history, for 22 million euros (R$ 143 million) fixed plus bonuses.

What is Flamengo's next game?

With Samuel Lino available, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), at 7pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, for the return of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV brings all the details and behind the scenes of the clash on YouTube.
