Lucas Halter has reached the target specified in his contract and will be acquired by Vitória next season for US$ 1.3 million (R$ 6.9 million). The inclusion of Lucas Halter in a Brasileirão match caused controversy, as Vitória was supposed to pay R$ 1 million within 72 hours to field the player, who still belongs to Botafogo. Thairo Arruda, CEO of the Rio de Janeiro club, stated that there was no agreement. In contrast, Fábio Mota, president of the Bahia team, assured that there was an attempt to negotiate the agreement.

Vitória resolved to pay a R$ 1 million fine to be able to include Lucas Halter, who is on loan from Botafogo, in the squad. Fábio Mota stated that they attempted throughout the week to reach an agreement with Botafogo to offset the fine against the value of the purchase that will be made for Halter, but no agreement was reached. Mota also mentioned attempts to negotiate using a debt related to another player, Elkeson, of almost R$ 20 million. Botafogo stated that the Elkeson situation is already addressed in an extrajudicial recovery process and is unrelated to other debts. Fábio Mota confirmed that the contract is clear and they have three days to pay the fine.

A player was loaned at the beginning of this year. His participation in the game will cost R$ 1 million to the red-black club. The amount for him to participate in the 33rd round match is equal to the investment made for the loan. The loan cost 200 thousand dollars, which is R$ 1 million at the current exchange rate. For amounts related to the defender, R$ 2 million are owed. An additional amount will be added at the end of 2025, because Lucas Halter will be permanently acquired by the Bahia team.
