The Esporte Clube Vitória is making moves in the transfer market to strengthen its squad. The club's management is working to sign new players and renew contracts of important athletes.

Who are the reinforcements?

The Vitória is close to signing the defensive midfielder Walace, who belongs to Cruzeiro. Additionally, the management is also trying to secure the temporary transfer of striker Pedro Henrique from Cuiabá.

Who stays and who leaves?

The experienced striker Osvaldo confirmed that his contract renewal is duly scheduled and underway. Meanwhile, the Uruguayan center-forward Renzo López and the winger Kike Saverio did not have their contracts extended and are officially leaving the Bahian institution.

Tight schedule

The management's urgency to close the signings is justified by the official calendar released by the CBF. The national football governing body confirmed that the round-trip matches of the 2026 Copa do Brasil will be compacted into a single historic week, scheduled between August 1st and 6th.
