Júnior Santos

In January 2026, reports mention a market value of €3.5 million from Transfermarkt. This follows reports from September 2025 that placed his value between €4 million and €5 million. A year prior, in January 2025, Atlético-MG completed his signing from Botafogo for a fee reported to be between US$7 million (~€6,500,000) and US$8 million (~€7,400,000). Around the same time, it was reported that Trabzonspor had offered €2.5 million, but Botafogo's asking price was at least €5 million.

Our valuation for Júnior Santos is anchored by his significant transfer from Botafogo to Atlético-MG in January 2025 for a fee of approximately €6.5-€7.4 million. However, his value has since decreased due to an injury-affected season and limited playing time. The current interest from clubs like Bahia and Corinthians is for loans with purchase options rather than immediate permanent transfers, and his reported market value has trended downwards, supporting a revised, lower valuation.
