Estevao the**Chelsea** signed player, has been the biggest talking point in Brazilian football for the fantastic 2024 season. He’s not 17 yet but he’s the most valuable player in Brazil and the next big thing. Transfermarkt has reacted by putting its market value up by 25 per cent to €50 million. From €40 million. That’s so in previous months, though: Botafogo has enjoyed a historic year by clinching both the Copa Libertadores and Serie A title in Brazil for the first time since the early 1990s.
Status today Transfermarkt has updated the market values of 627 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A players at the end of the 2024 season. That remains the case as Estevao prepares to join Chelsea. That increased his value massively, and now Chelsea’s €34 million investment looks like a great business.
“Estevao was the main protagonist of Brazilian football this year,” said Transfermarkt’s Area Manager for Brazil, Marcos Watts. ‘If not for him, Palmeiras would not have been in the title race, or the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores,’ Ezgjerro said to Record.”
Estevao has been even better than Neymar at the same age up until now and could be a superstar. On the club front, Botafogo, which is under the American Eagle Group’s ownership, won a double. They clinched the Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 win over Atlético Mineiro in Buenos Aires.
Afterwards lifted the Brazilian league crown, their first since 1994. Of course, Botafogo players like Igor Jesus, whose value increased by €9 million to €15 million, Jefferson Savarino (€3 million to €9 million), Marlon Freitas (€3 to €7 million) and John Vincent (€3.5 to €7 million) were among those successful this transferred season.
