Bahia has not yet confirmed the sale to Santos, but midfielder Thaciano came forward and announced his departure from Tricolor in a farewell post on social media, this Sunday (12).
“Today I say goodbye to this club that welcomed me so well, brought me unique and special moments. My family and I are very grateful for everything we experienced here. It was almost two years together, several battles, many we won, others not so much, but always We were together. The curious thing is that I wasn’t born in Bahia, but my family and I became BAHIA! The time has come to leave, but I have a feeling of accomplishment”, wrote the player, in a long farewell statement.
Thaciano took the moment to thank all the club’s employees, the cast and coach Rogério Ceni, as well as the fans. “Finally, most important of all, to the immense Bahia fans! I fought for this shirt until the last drop of blood and I would fight as many times as necessary, because you deserve it. You are the soul, the heart, and the life of the club I also want to thank my family, my wife and my son, because together we live and enjoy this journey.
The announcement by Santos should take place in the next few hours. Thaciano did not travel with the rest of the Bahia squad to the pre-season in Girona, Spain. Photos leaked on social media showed the athlete training with his colleagues from Peixe.
At Bahia, Thaciano had two spells, the most recent being between 2023 and 2024, a period in which he played 95 games, scored 21 goals and provided 12 assists. He was Tricolor’s top scorer last season, with 15 goals.
