Everaldo returns to Bahia, deal includes compensation for Flu | OneFootball

Forward is already registered in the BID, with a loan until the end of 2026; financial operation includes salary split now and future reimbursement

Fluminense and Bahia sealed the agreement on Friday afternoon for the return of forward Everaldo to Salvador. The player joins on loan until the end of 2026, which also marks the end of his contract with the Rio de Janeiro club. The negotiation was swift: just hours after the deal, Everaldo’s name was already listed in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID), making him eligible to play for the Bahia team.

The main difference in this transaction, however, lies in the financial details.

The “Reimbursable” Operation To make the transfer possible, the clubs designed a specific financial arrangement:

In practice, Bahia takes on the full cost of the operation, postponing half of the payment until the end of the contract.

Competition and Farewell to Rio

Everaldo missed the match between the two teams last Thursday precisely because of the negotiations. Clubs like Athletico-PR and Coritiba even made inquiries to the tricolor management, but did not move forward with an offer for the forward. The player’s desire and the consensus among the parties weighed in favor of his return to Bahia’s tricolor team.

The forward leaves Fluminense after a turbulent start to the 2026 season. With just one goal in four matches and facing boos from the fans, he ends his spell at Laranjeiras (which began in February 2025) with 62 matches, nine goals, and three assists.
