Bahia, São Paulo Near Rodrigo Nestor Permanent Transfer

Legal departments are reportedly exchanging documents to finalize a deal that would use a City Football Group debt from the Ferraresi purchase to lower the price.

Overview

  • Reports from GE relayed by Terra say the sale is close and a permanent contract could be signed in the coming weeks.
  • Bahia is negotiating to reduce the outlay by offsetting part of São Paulo’s Ferraresi-related debt to City Football Group, as first detailed by ESPN and confirmed by A Tarde.
  • The loan includes an automatic €4.7 million purchase clause if Nestor plays at least 45 minutes in 25 matches; he has reached that mark in 22, with eight league games remaining.
  • Sources indicate the clubs may complete the transfer before the appearance threshold is met, with legal teams exchanging documents to formalize terms.
  • A Tarde notes São Paulo has not publicly confirmed formal negotiations, underscoring that final terms and timing remain unannounced.
