Óscar Estupiñán is once again leaving Hull City, according to reports from South America.
Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reveals that the 27-year-old is about to sign for Bahia in the coming hours.
The report claims that Estupiñán has already landed in Salvador, and is set to join his new club on loan with an option to buy.
It’s said he’s being loaned by Hull City until the ‘end of this season’, and that sounds like they’re speaking about the Brazilian season, which ends in December.
For now, there’s no information on how much Bahia would need to pay to make the transfer permanent. They haven’t been one of the strongest clubs in Brazil in the past few decades, but now acquired by the City Group, they have a much bigger economic power for signings.
Estupiñán had already spent the first part of the season on loan, as he’d been playing for FC Metz. He only got six appearances for the French club, though, and ended up returning to England.
Now it’s time to try his luck in South America.
