Volta Redonda loaned 26-year-old Brazilian defender Gabriel Bahia to Botafogo, with an option to buy. Gabriel Bahia was a standout and key player for the team in Série B. The move was part of Volta Redonda's efforts to manage their squad before the transfer window closed, as they could only register four more players. His departure prompted the club to sign defender Igor Morais as a replacement. The defender's contract at Volta Redonda is set to expire in November 2025, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €50k.
