Bundesliga is coming: 5️⃣ Brazilians to watch in the championship 🇩🇪

The Bundesliga kicks off this Friday (22) with the match between Bayern Munich and Leipzig.

And right in the opening match, at the Allianz Arena, we may have the first Brazilian participation in the new championship.

The forward Rômulo, recently signed by Leipzig, has a chance to debut for the club.

In just a few days of work at his new home, he has already received praise from the team's coach, Ole Werner.

“He is in shape and made a very good impression,” Werner revealed in an interview this Thursday (21).

But Rômulo is not the only Brazilian who deserves a closer look throughout this Bundesliga season.

The OneFootball brings here all the athletes from the country who are in German elite clubs and highlights five names that may gain more prominence in the coming months.

Rômulo

Forward | Leipzig | 23 years old

He had little prominence in Brazilian football, by Athletico-PR, and shone for Göztepe, from Turkey, last season.

Rômulo's performances made Leipzig shell out 20 million euros for him after selling Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United.

Only two Brazilians were signed for a higher value in the history of the Bundesliga: Douglas Costa and Amoroso.

Yan Couto

Right-back | Borussia Dortmund | 23 years old

Yan Couto was definitively signed by Borussia Dortmund this year, also for the value of 20 million euros.

He has already played for the club last season, but his stint so far is discreet and marked by physical problems.

Couto competes for a place in the starting lineup with Julian Ryerson, who has more defensive characteristics.

Arthur

Right-back | Bayer Leverkusen | 22 years old

Another right-back who competes for a place in the starting lineup and has been dealing with injuries.

Arthur was signed by Leverkusen two years ago and has shown little of what was expected of him so far.

Jeremie Frimpong was sold, but the club recently signed Ernest Poku, who should compete with the Brazilian for space to play on the right side.

Kauã Santos

Goalkeeper | Eintracht Frankfurt | 22 years old

The goalkeeper formed at Flamengo took advantage of Kevin Trapp's injury this year to shine with good performances.

However, Kauã ended up suffering a serious knee injury and missed the final stretch of last season.

Trapp was sold and now the path is open for the Brazilian to be the team's starter, even with the signing of also goalkeeper Michael Zetterer.

Vinícius Souza

Defensive Midfielder | Wolfsburg | 26 years old

So far, he is Wolfsburg's most expensive signing in this transfer window, costing 15 million euros.

In the last two years he played for Sheffield United, which competed in the English second division in 2024/25.

Vinícius was a starter in the new team in the first round match of the German Cup, last Saturday (16).

Check out the other Brazilians who are in Bundesliga clubs at the moment:

Rogério

Left-back | Wolfsburg | 27 years old

Bernardo

Center-back | Hoffenheim | 30 years old

Leo Scienza

Midfielder | Heidenheim | 26 years old
