Part 2/6:
Reports have surfaced suggesting a possible return to Bahia, which has shown keen interest in Zé Rafael, a former player for the club. However, Bahia is not inclined to offer any player in exchange, instead assessing whether they consider Zé Rafael to be crucial for their 2024 campaign. Porto Alegre’s Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro have also been rumored to seek Zé Rafael's services, although, so far, none of these clubs have made a formal offer.
