Find out which were the 10 players in Brazil who gained the most value in 2024

A survey by Somos Fanático Brasil discovered which are the ten active players in Brazilian football who start 2025 with the greatest appreciation compared to the beginning of 2024. To arrive at the result, absolute market values ​​were not considered, extracted from the specialized website Transfermarkt , but rather the appreciation gain over the 12-month period. Athletes who spent last season in Brazil, but who will not start 2025 in Brazilian football, such as Luiz Henrique, announced by Zenit (RUS), were not considered.>

Estêvão was the active player in Brazilian football who gained the most value in the space of 12 months. In addition to his outstanding performances throughout the period, the completion of the sale of his economic rights to Chelsea, in June last year, greatly contributed to the Palmeiras striker’s appreciation. In 12 months, its market value increased by 40 million euros, more than double the second highest valuation in the same period: 13 million euros, by Igor Jesus, from Botafogo. >

Despite the bittersweet season, with fluctuations and the Copa do Brasil title at the end, Flamengo has the most players among the highest valuations. Lorran, just 18 years old, has gained 11 million euros in value in the last 12 months, as a result of his 27 games for the professionals. He is considered a great red-and-black promise for 2025.>

Another Flamengo player who stood out in the survey was Gerson. He was the main red-and-black name last season and had a good run as a starter for the Brazilian team for the first time in his career. The result of this is the appreciation of 5 million euros and the start of the 2025 season as the main star of the Rio squad.>

Completing the red-black trio is right-back Wesley. He saw his market value increase by 5 million euros after a season establishing himself in the first team. It’s no wonder that European clubs have been circling Flamengo for the 21-year-old player. For now, he remains at Flamengo as one of the strong points for the 2025 season.>

Two other clubs with players standing out in terms of appreciation are Corinthians and Botafogo. The São Paulo team has Breno Bidon and Hugo Souza. The 19-year-old midfielder starts 2025 with a value of 7.9 million euros compared to the beginning of 2024. There is the expectation that, in a more stable year for Corinthians, the player will once and for all become one of the team’s pillars. The goalkeeper, after ups and downs in his career, had a high-level season in 2024 and was valued at 6.8 million euros.>

A sensational team from last season, Botafogo begins 2025 dealing with the departure of many players from the squad, but some of the most important players in the last 12 months remain. Igor Jesus is one of them, with a valuation of 13 million euros, after being Brazilian champion, Libertadores and becoming part of the national team group. The other is goalkeeper John, who valued at 6.2 million euros. In 2025, he is expected to be one of the first team’s trusted men.>
