Future stars from South America. Who’s headed to Europe this winter?

Winter is traditionally weaker than summer on the transfer market. Nevertheless, at the turn of the year very interesting footballers arrived in Europe, who will most likely entertain us for a long time. It is certainly no surprise that all the players are from Brazil.

Vitor Roque (18 years old) – FC Barcelona

Striker equals Brazil, one would like to say. Although Argentina’s Messi and Portugal’s Ronaldo have ruled world football in recent years, Brazil is one of the most traditional bastions of offensive football. This should be confirmed by Vitor Roque, a talent only 18 years old who has just transferred to the famous Barcelona.

For forty million euros, he should surely do great things at one of the biggest clubs. Nowadays, the former Athletico Paranaense player played for the Blaugranas in Thursday’s game at Las Palmas. He came on for thirteen minutes in the 2-1 win.

Marcos Leonardo (20 years old) – Benfica Lisbon

And Brazil again. Another big transfer from the South American continent to Europe was baked in the Portuguese capital. Benfica Lisbon are newly cherishing Marcos Leonardo, a ball equalizer who has netted almost fifty goals for the famous Santos at the age of twenty.

At Estádio da Luz, they are expecting big things from Leonardo, logically especially goal-scoring performances. It is not without interest that the English West Ham have also shown interest in this footballer, who shares the same name as the former PSG and AC Milan midfielder.

Lucas Beraldo (20 years old) – Paris Saint-Germain

The third to the party is once again a Brazilian and it’s certainly no surprise that it’s a striker. Twenty-year-old Lucas Beraldo is a brand new signing for Paris Saint-Germain, to whom he transferred for twenty million euros from Sao Paulo.

He made his debut at the French club in style. On Wednesday, he came on for twenty minutes in the French Super Cup win against Toulouse (2: 0). Despite the high competition from Mbappé, Ramos, Kolo Muani and Dembélé, big things are expected from Beraldo.
