Bahia received an official offer of 8.5 million euros for 25-year-old Brazilian winger Erick Pulga in March this year but rejected the approach from the Arab world. According to ESPN, the same team made new contact a few weeks ago to try to reopen negotiations, but Bahia insisted it would not continue the talks. Pulga joined Bahia in January 2025 and is under contract until the end of 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €8.00m.
