Brazil's World Cup storm costs almost 600 million euros

Led by Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, the Brazilian national team will go to the World Cup in Qatar. National coach Tite presented the 26-player squad of the five-time title holder in Rio de Janeiro.

Nine attackers, including young strikers like Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, suggest an attacking Seleção. According to transfermarkt.de, the Neymar attack has a market value of 597 million euros – the specialist portal for wingers Vinicius Junior alone estimates 120 million euros; the Madrid professional is currently the third most valuable player in the world.

"We prefer important players from midfield to attack, but there's nothing like a balanced team," said national coach Tite about his squad. "To win at a high level, you have to create opportunities and score goals."

Most of the players in Brazil's squad, which is one of the top favorites for the World Cup title, are at Real Madrid (Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Eder Militao), Manchester United (Casemiro, Fred, Antony) and Juventus Turin (Bremer, Danilo, Alex). Sandro) under contract.

A big surprise is the nomination of Dani Alves. The 39-year-old veteran now plays for the UNAM Pumas in Mexico City. As expected, Philippe Coutinho, former FC Bayern professional, was left out after his injury on Sunday. Former Hoffenheim Bundesliga professional Roberto Firmino from Liverpool FC is also absent.

Record world champions Brazil will meet Cameroon, Switzerland and Serbia in preliminary group G at the World Cup in Qatar from November 20th to December 18th. Switzerland and Serbia were also in the group of Brazil at the World Cup in Russia 2018, which later fell to Belgium in the quarterfinals.

Since then, however, the Brazilians have been playing at the top level: in 2019 they won the Copa America with ease, and in 2021 they narrowly failed in the final against Argentina, which is also one of the top favorites at this World Cup. In the World Cup qualifiers, Brazil remained unbeaten in all games. According to the tournament tree, Germany can meet the Selecao in the quarter-finals at the earliest.
