The inexhaustible pool of Brazilian talent is one of the most interesting assets to be exploited by major investors in European football. History has been marked by great Brazilian names who have turned their names into icons thanks to the quality of their football. The latest signings to come out of the South American giants: Vinicius Jr. and Rodrigo Goes
Florentino Pérez can hold on to the medal having successfully invested €45m in today’s two contrasting and recognized teens in the Real Madrid first team. In this way, he counters the great defeat he suffered at the hands of Josep Maria Bartomeu by signing Neymar
Andrek, the weight that would tip the scales in favor of Real Madrid or Barcelona
A global sensation like Neymar Jr. was a commercial victory for FC Barcelona over their archenemy. However, Rodrigo and Vinicius who doubled in value today balance a scale that was clearly tilted in favor of the Catalan entity
Neymar Bartomeu is the new Barcelona player
All in all, a new rising Brazilian talent, Indrik, could once again break the tie when it comes to signings with Brazilian talent. Joan Laporta will rely heavily on the 16-year-old striker to dress up like Barcelona as soon as possible, but Florentino is ready to invest more money to snatch his archetype signature at the club’s presidency
Indrik’s signing has an almost identical precedent that Barcelona and Real Madrid are particularly interested in in his case. Gabriel Jesus was the last gem in Verdau’s squad, and although he was only 17 years old at the time, the Brazilian club refused to let him go for less than €30m. Barcelona and Real Madrid backed away from such an amount, and it was Manchester City who dared to reach it. The result was a huge investment in the future and he became the third top scorer in skyblue history despite leaving the team at just 25 years old

Indrik’s case is very similar, because he also defends the green of Palmeiras, he is also a minor and its price in the current market will be around 35 million euros, according to Carioca publications Yahoo Sports. Deco and Johnny Calafat, talent scouts from Barcelona and Real Madrid, are up to date, have detailed reports on what they call the ‘new Ronaldo’ and will star in a new episode of the institutional battle to win the signature of the new Brazilian pearl
