Vitória has increased the offer and is nearing confirmation of the purchase of the forward Erick from São Paulo. The 28-year-old player is expected to sign a contract for three seasons with the Rubro-Negro.

Attacker Erick, who was on loan at Vitória from his parent club São Paulo, is expected to complete a permanent transfer. According to ESPN, Coritiba submitted an offer in recent days that was considered better than the proposal from the Bahian club, Vitória, which was also attempting to sign him. A transfer to the Paraná-based team is now considered more likely, partly because Vitória has an outstanding debt with São Paulo from this year's loan.
