Historically, the costs associated with football in Brazil have seen incremental increases, but the current spike in expenses is particularly alarming. Last year alone, the total expenditure on player transfers climbed to over R$2 billion. Several factors contribute to this spike, including heightened revenues from broadcasting rights, skyrocketing sponsorship deals primarily with betting companies, and the increased participation of SAFs (Sociedades Anônimas do Futebol) that have attracted significant investments for buying players.
