The market value update in Brazilian Série A has a milestone ready for Estêvão (18). Palmeiras’ wing striker, who joins FC Chelsea in summer, cracks the 60 million euro mark and thus pulls the same with Endrick (18) before switching to Real Madrid-there has never been a higher market value in the Camponato Brasileiro. The big winner is also Yuri Alberto (24) of Corinthians, while the descent from Neymar (33) continues unstoppable.
Estêvão, who is the best scorer from Palmeiras in 2025 with eleven goals and five assists in 32 competitive games, experienced his last days in the club. After the club world championship, he leaves his training club. Before that, he climbs for 5 million euros and thus a record value of 60 million euros divided into Brazil’s football upper house.
“Estêvão is ready to become a big international star. The club World Cup will offer him the opportunity to show his talent that the fans of the Brasileirão enchanted. The award as the most valuable player in the history of the Brazilian championship is a recognition for the most clever and promising player that the country has produced in Neymar,” says Marcos Watts, Area Manager from Brazil transfer market.
Before moving to London to the blues, Estêvão’s lead over the second most valuable proud 35 million euros: Flamengos Gerson (28) remains unchanged at 25 million euros, but there is movement behind it. Yuri Alberto, who is the greatest winner, is new to 6 million to EUR 22 million. Watts about the upgrading: “It is no wonder that Yuri Alberto attracts the attention of the European market. He has become more experienced and mature, shone in Brazil and showed that he is ready to play in Europe. This season he is the best professional of Corinthians.”
Market values Série A: Neymar with seventh minus in a row
Wesley (21), who jumps below the top 5, is also on the advance. The right -back from Flamengo increases by 5 million to 20 million euros. “Wesley’s talent and his tireless efforts brought him a place on the wish list of many clubs in the five best European leagues, as well as a place in the Brazilian national team. A change to a top team in Europe seems to be only a matter of time,” said Watts.
In a completely different location, Neymar is located, whose return to Brazil to FC Santos has so far been rather disappointing. He only played twelve of possible 22 games, eight times of which he was in the starting eleven. He posted three hits and templates. Due to injuries, number 10 is repeatedly lacking what makes the deceased legend Pelé united in the fight against relegation. In addition, the uncertainty about the future of Neymar, whose contract expires in June.
“Neymar seems to be closer to the end of the career than a triumphant return to top football, be it for the club or the country. Despite the brilliant appearances in the meantime, physical problems keep him away from his former level and also from the 2026 World Cup,” says Watts about the most expensive footballer in the world to date, whose taxation drops to EUR 12 million – his seventh minus The lowest value since 2010 at the beginning of Santos.
This is how the transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are taken into account, taking into account various pricing models and a strong inclusion of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market values are not to be equated with the transfer sums actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expectation value. When collecting the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples are listed here. Transfer market does not use algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
