Cacá

In February 2026, reports cited the player's Transfermarkt value at €1.7 million. A month earlier, in January 2026, Athletico PR reportedly made a loan proposal which was rejected by Corinthians, who insisted on a sale. The most significant recent fee was his permanent transfer from Tokushima Vortis to Corinthians in January 2025, which reports state was for €3.9 million (US$4 million) for 90% of his rights.

Our valuation is driven by the significant drop in Cacá's on-field status since his permanent transfer to Corinthians for a reported €3.9 million in January 2025. His recent poor performances and lack of playing time have led to a much lower current market value, reflected by Transfermarkt's €1.7 million estimate. While Corinthians is seeking a permanent sale to recoup their investment, their negotiating position is weakened, suggesting a final fee will land between the current market value and a fraction of the original purchase price.
