Years in a row the big European football clubs had a veritable gold mine in Brazil. But the Brazilian clubs have decided not to sell cheaply anymore. A real talent like Kaka, for which AC Milan paid in 2003 only 8.5 million euros to Sao Paulo, now costs four to five times more. This is the case of Lucas, Neymar or Ganso, the most demanded young stars by the European football clubs.

When Real, Chelsea, Milan and Barcelona will want to buy these players, they will have to negotiate with all parties involved (the clubs, the investments funds and the families of the players). If not, there are enough Russian or Ukrainian billionaires are eager to gain some fain through football.
