The 2024 Brasileirão has a new king. With Endrick’s imminent departure to Real Madrid, the player who was the most valuable in the Americas will pass the torch to another player trained in Verdão’s academy: Estêvão Willian Almeida de Oliveira Gonçalves, better known as “Messinho” or simply by his first name, Estêvão.

Endrick will leave the Brasileirão, and Estêvão will take the mantle
As we await the summer transfer window to open, Endrick remains the most valuable player in the Brasileirão with a market value of 60 million euros, according to the latest figures from Transfermarkt.
Starting in July, once Endrick can be registered as a new Real Madrid player, the footballer who will take the mantle and rise as the new king of the Brasileirão is none other than Estêvão, Palmeiras’ gem, who is close to becoming a new Chelsea player and would join the blue team in 2025 if the deal goes through.
