💰 Fla, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro lead the spending in the transfer window

The Brazilian football transfer window has come to an end, marking another period of high investments by Serie A clubs.

In total, R$ 1.586 billion was spent on the acquisition of 157 players, according to information compiled by ge.

Although the amount did not surpass the absolute record set at the beginning of 2025 (when investments exceeded R$ 1.8 billion), the current window marks the fifth consecutive time that the billion-reais barrier was broken in national football.
