Bahia announce signing of striker Mateo Sanabria | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Bahia announced the signing of Argentine forward Mateo Sanabria, who belonged to Al-Ain, from Saudi Arabia. The 21-year-old player arrives at the Bahian club with a contract valid until 2030.

Sanabria arrived in Saudi football at the end of 2024, when he transferred from Lanús to Al-Ain. Since then, he has played 33 games, scored six goals, and contributed two assists. His last official performance for the club was in the Club World Cup, in the 6-0 loss to Manchester City.

The forward is already integrated into the squad at the CT Evaristo de Macedo for team training. However, he is not yet regularized in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID), making him a doubt for Rogério Ceni's disposal in the next game.

Bahia returns to the field this Thursday, when they host Fluminense, for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The ball rolls at 19h30 (Brasília time), at the Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador.

Mateo Sanabria's Career

Mateo Sanabria made his professional debut for Lanús, from Argentina. He then remained in Argentine football, but on loan to Central Córdoba. At the end of the contract, in 2024, the player moved to Saudi football, playing for Al-Ain, his last club before arriving at the top of Brazilian football, at Bahia.
