A real star of Vitória in 2025, Erick should stay at Leão da Barra. As published by Ge, the Bahian club increased the offer and convinced the 28-year-old player. Erick is set to become an asset for Vitória and is expected to sign a three-year contract. It belongs to São Paulo.
Rubro-Negro gave a “hat” to Coritiba, who had offered 5.5 million reais to remove him from Leão. To beat the competition, Vitória offered the player 7 million reais.
For being important in the fight against relegation to Serie B, Erick earned the credit of fans. Therefore, the red-black Bahian believes that the investment is worth it. In 2025, Erick scored three goals and provided five assists in 38 matches for EC Vitória, including 27 as a starter.
The striker is in his second spell at the club. He even played for Leão between 2018 and 2019, participating in their relegation to the Second Division. He made 32 appearances for the team, with three goals and two assists. Last season, Erick took advantage of his second chance and became a fundamental player for coach Jair Ventura, who requested that he remain on the team.
