Esporte Clube Bahia tried to sign midfielder Éderson in 2020, but he ended up signing with Corinthians. The player was a target for Bahia six years ago and had a strong interest from the club. Éderson was a key player for Atalanta, and his performance earned him a move to the Premier League. However, he was also a target for Bahia, and the club had a strong interest in signing him. In 2020, Éderson was involved in a legal dispute with his former club, Cruzeiro, over unpaid wages and benefits. Bahia had a document that showed their interest in signing Éderson, and they even sent a representative to negotiate with Cruzeiro. However, the negotiations eventually cooled off. Éderson eventually signed with Corinthians, but he was later loaned to Fortaleza and then sold to Salernitana. He eventually transferred to Atalanta, where he was called up to the national team and attracted interest from Manchester United. Bahia also signed Rodriguinho in a similar situation. Rodriguinho was a key player for Cruzeiro, but he was also involved in a legal dispute with the club. He eventually signed with Bahia, where he played for two seasons.
