Criciúma has secured Lucas Dias, a 30-year-old Brazilian defender, on a loan deal from Figueirense until the end of the season, aiming to strengthen their squad for the Série B of the Brazilian Championship. The defender, who has appeared in 18 matches this season for Figueirense and scored three goals, is expected to reinforce Criciúma's lineup. He has previously been part of teams such as Botafogo-SP, Ituano, and CSA. It is anticipated that he will be ready to join coach Eduardo Baptista's team in the coming days. Criciúma is scheduled to face Chapecoense on Sunday at the Heriberto Hülse stadium during the 25th round of Série B.
