ESPN BR has reported that Bahia is showing interest in acquiring Costa Rican goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira from Casa Pia, a club based in Portugal. Patrick Sequeira, who is 26 years old, is currently playing as a goalkeeper for Casa Pia. Bahia's aim is to sign him as the starting goalkeeper under the management of coach Rogério Ceni. The club's current goalkeeping options, Marcos Felipe and his reserve Ronaldo, are not considered to have unanimous support within the club. It is noted that Sequeira is open to the possibility of moving to Brazil, but Bahia will need to engage in negotiations with Casa Pia. The Portuguese club is demanding a fee of 8 million euros (approximately R$ 52 million), which could rise by up to 20% due to tax implications. Should the transfer be finalized, it would mark the most expensive goalkeeper transfer in the history of South American football and represent the highest sale for Casa Pia, exceeding the previous record of 3.5 million euros received for Nuno Moreira's transfer to Vasco.

A Bola reports on Patrick Sequeira's impending transfer to Brazilian club Bahia.

Patrick Sequeira has returned to Portugal and is set to undergo medical examinations on Friday. There is a belief in Brazil of a potential transfer to Bahia, with the player himself seeking to persuade Casa Pia to allow his departure. Bahia reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Sequeira about a week ago, convincing him with their ambitions as they lead the Copa do Nordeste and are in fourth place in the Brasileirão.

Patrick Sequeira has become a highly sought-after goalkeeper following an impressive season. In January, he attracted interest from several clubs, with Bahia in Brazil being the most mentioned option. The interest from Bahia has resurfaced in recent weeks. Despite the interest, Patrick is currently focused on his contract with Casa Pia, which has three more years (two seasons plus an option), and he is happy there. He expresses a desire to continue his career in Europe. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 4.00m euros.
