Coritiba has submitted a definitive purchase proposal for Erick, who belongs to São Paulo, and is now in a favorable position to sign him. The interest from Coritiba was initially published by journalist André Hernan and confirmed by ge. The São Paulo board views the deal positively because Erick's contract runs until December 2026. For São Paulo, selling the player now is considered fundamental to avoid the risk of him signing a pre-contract with another team in the middle of next year and leaving for free.

According to a report from ESPN BR, forward Erick, who was on loan to Vitória, is expected to leave the club definitively. Coritiba made an offer in recent days, and this proposal was considered better than that of the Bahia team, who were also trying to sign him. Vitória has a debt with São Paulo for this year's loan, which makes it more likely he will become a reinforcement for the Paraná team.
