Any young players in Brazil that match this description?
Actually right now Brazilian football is kind of thriving. Stadiums filled up with people, traditional teams are improving theirs organization and finances, and the exodus of players from Russia and Ukraine helped improve some teams. Also there's an important disparity from the economic situation of our neighbors.
All in all, yes, there are plenty of useful players in Brazil right now. But big clubs like Flamengo, Palmeiras, Atlético-MG, Corinthians, are selling high now, sometimes even for European standards.
Gotta look at the clubs in a worse financial position, who are equally good at forging youngsters: my Fluminense, Santos, Sao Paulo, Vasco.
I won't go too far. The best DM right now in Brazil, along with Danilo from Palmeiras (who is expensive and will only leave for 15-25M) is a guy named
André, from
Fluminense:

21 years old, physical beast, aggressive, enforcer, who likes to push plays with vertical passes and carrying the ball forward. His dribbling is actually great (he was groomed as an AM), and he doesn't have tunnel vision.
Fluminense is one of the top teams in the world when it comes to youth and, as usual, is in a huge financial crisis. André wouldn't cost more than 8-15M (including bonus), and obviously, with low salaries (1.5M a year should be more than enough). A fee of 8M + 7M bonus would probably do it.
This is a guy I believe has potential to be a 10 yrs starter for our NT. Very few weaknessess.
He is already, as I said, the best DM in the country along with Danilo from Palmeiras:
Actually, Fluminense just sold a RW to Betis, Luis Henrique (

Brazilian clubs are strengthening, gotta keep an eye in the weak ones (like my Fluminense, unfortunately). It bothers me to see Juventus lack of investment in Latin American youngsters. In Argentina there are hundreds of them, also dirty cheap.
André's destiny will be a huge club in Europe, in 1 year tops - and he will be a hell of an investment. I bank on it. He would be an instant starter at Juventus.
