In addition, according to mobile betting sites, incredible talents are still coming from there, such as Real Madrid’s Marcelo or FC Barcelona’s Neymar Jr. Some of these great talents are on the edge of switching sides, let’s see who they are!

Danilo joined Real Madrid

Danilo played an incredible season at FC Porto during the latest football year which quickly raised the interest of great European clubs. The Brazilian right-back was key member in the Portuguese side, and even though the team did not win any of the major trophies, they were doing quite well in the Champions League until eventually Bayern Munich stopped them.

His incredible performances at Porto gained him entrance to the Brazilian national team as well, and he even replaced the declining world class players, Dani Alves and Maicon. He was going to be an important player for the Copa América 2015 squad but he had to miss the tournament due to an unfortunate injury.

His transfer for Real Madrid has been made official during the last season. He signed for the Royal Club for a transfer fee of EUR 31,5 million and is expected to fight for the starting position with the Spanish team’s home-grown player, Dani Carvajal, who has been showing remarkable improvements in recent times.

Bayern Munich signed Douglas Costa

Douglas Costa’s professional career has start in Brazilian side Gremio. He spent 2 years there and played 29 league games during that time. Even though the fact that he scored only 2 goals during his 2 years at his club, he was regarded as one of the greatest talents in the football world, hence many big clubs for fighting for his signature.

Yet surprisingly it was Shakhtar Doneck who managed to buy the Brazilian winger, who signed a 5-year deal with his new club. He became one of the most important players in the attacking third of the Ukrainian team. He spent 5 years there, participating in 203 games in total. In these game, he scored 38 goals, according to Ukrainian gambling news.

In this summer, FC Bayern Munich have already completed the deal for purchasing the talented winger. He cost EUR 30 million for the German side and is expected to fight for his place with Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry, however, he can soon replace them as none of those players are young anymore.

Miranda left Atlético for Inter

Miranda has started his professional career in Coritiba in Brazil at the age of 20, but has left Brazil for Europe in only one year. France-based Sochaux wanted him and so he joined them, but moved back to Brazil after only one year, as he joined Sao Paulo in 2006 and stayed there until 2011, playing in 128 matches.

He won himself a great name in the football world, thanks to which he once again had the chance to prove his skills in Europe. Atlético de Madrid signed him in 2011 on a free transfer, where he became key member. He scored several goals throughout his 4-year career in the Spanish capital, out of which the most important one was in the Copa del Rey final against Rela Madrid, which gave them the title in 2013.

online gambling sites in Italy reported in the end of the season that Miranda was going to leave the Rojiblancos and join FC Internazionale. The Italian side paid EUR 15 million for Diego Simeone’s man, who seeks glory in the Milan-based team as well.

Liverpool purchased Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino has been discovered in the Copa América by the football world as he was not a very well-known player before the continental tournament. He was not even known by many Brazilian fans before Dunga invited him in November last year, but he score important goals thanks to which he gained the trust of the fans.

The 23-year-old striker has spent 1 season in Figueirense, participating in 38 games and scoring 8 goals. Bundesliga member Hoffenheim immediately signed the player and gave him an important role, even though he was only 20 years old at that time. Now he is 23, and he has 140 Bundesliga clashes and 35 goals behind him.

He had the chance to sign for great clubs, but he decided that the best step for his improvement would be to choose not the best clubs in the world, but one that is just slightly behind them. That is why he signed for FC Liverpool and will develop himself in the Premier League. He cost EUR 40 million for the English club.
