According to ESPN BR, Bahia plans to sign goalkeeper Ronaldo on a permanent transfer. Ronaldo is currently on loan at the club from Atlético-GO. This decision follows the player's emergence as a standout performer for the team coached by Rogério Ceni, after an inconsistent start. Bahia is expected to exercise the purchase option, which is valued at R$ 5 million for 80% of the player's economic rights. The club has also initiated preliminary discussions with the Goian club. If the deal is completed, Atlético-GO would retain the remaining 20% of Ronaldo's economic rights.
