Trade of young athletes with the outside world$ 3,9billions in three years and leaves the Brazilian older
The proposal to reduce the number of foreigners in the Brazilian Championship has returned to debate with the aim of opening up space for young people trained at grassroots level. However, the measure stumbles on the economic issue: with higher revenues and favorable exchange rate, clubs have found that hiring athletes from countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela costs less than young Brazilians, contested by Europe.

The proposal to reduce the number of foreigners in the Brazilian league has returned to debate with a clear objective: to open up more space for young players trained at the country's top clubs.
The origins of the debate
The idea behind reducing the limit of foreign athletes is simple: if clubs have fewer spots for outside contractors, they will need to rely more on base categories and give field minutes to youngsters from their own home.
Where the debate rages
The problem is that the reality of Brazilian clubs has undergone a transformation in recent years. With increased revenues television quotas, new arenas and an exchange which made the domestic market more competitive , hiring foreigners began to make financial sense for many people. Times of various sizes found it possible to bring players from neighbouring markets such as Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela for lower values than those requested by athletes trained in Brazil, who became targets of European clubs early on.
It is not without reason that the proposal encounters resistance precisely in economic terms: those who rely on cheap external markets tend to reject restrictions.
What's at stake
On the other hand, clubs argue that reducing the number of foreigners without compensation can bring down the technical level of the league and make Brazilian players more expensive on the domestic market.
What foot are you on?
The debate continues: the measure still needs to overcome the economic barrier in order to advance, and clubs remain divided between the project of training young people and the need to set up competitive squads within the budget.
