Midfielder Lucas Sasha , who had a contract with Fortaleza until the end of this year, accepted the proposal and should be Athletico 's fourth reinforcement for the Série B. The negotiation entered a soap opera that almost lasted a month, since the Ceará club did not want to release the athlete.
Furacão has agreed to reward Leão do Pici financially and will pay R$1.8 million to hire the 35-year-old player, according to information initially released by journalist Venê Casagrande . According to Trétis , the midfielder will sign a contract with Furacão until the end of 2026.

Sasha arrives at Athletico with the aim of strengthening the defensive midfield sector. With the frustration over the performance of Raul, who would be the team's starter this season, and some below-average performances by Felipinho, the tendency is for coach Odair Hellmann to increase the level of internal competition for the starting position.
Lucas Sasha has been one of Fortaleza's standout players under coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda. Despite the team's fluctuations, the defensive midfielder has been playing well. In total, the player has played 119 games, with three goals and two assists. Playing for Leão do Pici, Sasha won the Campeonato Cearense in 2023 and the Copa do Nordeste in 2024.
