Rony, who is currently with Atlético-MG and was previously at Palmeiras, has been offered to Santos. According to ESPN, the proposal was viewed favorably at Santos, particularly as Alexandre Mattos likes the player. Discussions between the involved parties have commenced, and the current plan involves a loan that would likely include an option to buy. Santos is attempting to lower Rony's salary demands, given that he is one of the highest-paid players at Atlético-MG. Rony is receptive to playing for Santos, as his season with Atlético-MG was not considered good and he has been criticized by fans. The probability of a negotiation is also increased by Jorge Sampaoli's wish to make alterations to the squad.

Santos is interested in signing Rony, a 30-year-old Brazilian forward from Atlético-MG, and has recently made inquiries to the club and the player's staff regarding a potential deal. The discussions are in a preliminary phase, and Santos believes a loan arrangement is a feasible option. Bahia has also shown interest and has consulted Atlético-MG to understand the values and the possibility of a transfer. Atlético-MG does not comment on negotiations. Rony is a Brazil international with three caps. He joined his current club in February 2025 from Palmeiras for a fee that was reported to be €6.0 million. His contract runs until the end of 2027, and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €5.00m.
