Coritiba is making efforts to acquire Lucas Braga, a 28-year-old forward who is currently with Vitória, viewing it as a strategic market opportunity. The club has submitted a proposal and is anticipating a prompt response due to the transfer window closing on Tuesday. Lucas Braga's longest tenure at Vitória was under coach Fábio Carille, but he lost his position in the team following Carille's dismissal after a heavy defeat to Flamengo and was subsequently not included in the squad for the recent match against Atlético-MG. Despite experiencing a goal drought this season, Braga's last goal, scored on April 20th against Fluminense, was noted for its individual brilliance. Should the transfer be finalized, Braga would become a vital component of Coritiba's offensive strategy for the remainder of the Série B, joining players like Lucas Ronier and Iury Castilho. Braga is currently under contract with Vitória until the end of 2027, with the club having previously invested R$ 5 million for 70% of his economic rights.
