Atlético Mineiro’s Transfer Ambitions
Atlético Mineiro, one of the big clubs in Brazil’s Brasileirão league, is making big moves to get new players. They really want Artur to join their team. Even though they offered a lot of money, Zenit won’t budge from wanting €15 million because they think they can make more money when they sell him later.
Já foram duas ofertas do Galo para o Zenit. A primeira de 8 mi de euros e a segunda de 10 mi de euros. Mesmo assim, Galo vê como uma negociação difícil ainda !

Artur who was born in Fortaleza Brazil has gotten really good at what he does with his skills on the field. He’s 1.68 meters tall and is 26 years old and mostly plays on the right wing but can play other positions too. Getting him from Zenit where he just started playing in January 2024 would be really good for Atlético Mineiro who wants better players.
Artur’s Career and Market Value
Artur has played in different leagues which makes him really interesting for clubs like Atlético Mineiro. He’s played for Brazil’s U23 and U20 teams which shows how good he is. Right now people think he’s worth about €8 million based on how good he’s been for Zenit.
While they keep talking about the deal nobody knows if Atlético Mineiro can actually get Artur to sign with them which would help them do better in the Brasileirão. The fact that they’re trying so hard to get him shows how much they want to build a team that can win stuff.
Transfer Market Dynamics
The transfer market is really busy especially in Brazil’s top league. Atlético Mineiro wanting Artur shows they want to get better players. They’re doing this while also trying to keep players like Everson even though Bahia wants him too. Other teams are doing stuff too like Red Bull Bragantino got Isidro Pitta and Corinthians might work with Paul Pogba.
Zenit which is a big team in the Russian Premier League, wants to get as much money as they can for Artur since his contract goes until June 2027 and they can add another year. This shows how complicated it is when big teams try to buy and sell players.
