In the negotiation, Bahia retained 25% of the economic rights' surplus value — a clause that ensures the Tricolor a proportional financial participation in case of a future resale.

Tiago's Trajectory and Numbers

Developed in the Esquadrão's youth categories, Tiago moved up to the professional level in 2025 and quickly stood out, playing 43 matches in the season, with 11 goals and three assists.
