The 2024/25 season has just ended with clubs already preparing for the next, including Eintracht Frankfurt who are targeting Brazilian midfielder Evertton Araújo from Flamengo, though they face competition from several European clubs including Sevilla, Getafe, Villarreal, and Bayer Leverkusen, with a transfer fee estimated at eleven million euros. Meanwhile, the Copa do Brasil has reached the round of 16 stage with matchups to be decided soon; the tournament will pause for the Club World Cup in June and resume with return matches in early August. Vila Nova and Cruzeiro are set to face off in a decisive third phase match of the Copa do Brasil, with the winner earning a prize of R$ 3,638,250 and Cruzeiro currently in good form under coach Leonardo Jardim despite some injuries. The Copa do Brasil's structure includes financial distributions based on team rankings and divisions, with some teams like Capital making historic progress despite early exits. These developments highlight the intense competition and strategic planning in Brazilian and European football as clubs balance domestic and international commitments.
