The moment has arrived, and the Brazilian superstar has reportedly found his new home. Several offers were on his table, did he choose the right one?
Nine days ago, Aspas posted on his Twitter account that his contract with LOUD expired and that he is looking to pursue his career elsewhere. Since then, he's been on the "free agent market", and it seems like he is finally leaning towards one of the many teams that offered their jersey to him.
Verbal Agreement Between Aspas And Leviatán Has Reportedly Taken Place
Erick is a superstar of the highest possible level in Valorant, and there's only a few of the player like him in the scene. It was never a question of whether he would get offers, but rather where he would take his talents. Even though LOUD didn't defend their title at Champions, Aspas was huge for them and was the player with the highest amount of Kills proving his dominance in the scene.
Leviatán parted ways with their duelist the same day LOUD made it official that they've parted ways with Aspas. Having the duelist slot empty, and one of the best ones being available in the market only meant that it was a matter of time until the two collided. Reportedly Leviatán wasn't the only team that sent him an offer, and he was also close to a deal with NRG & Furia.

Leviatán Valorant Roster With Aspas
While we are waiting for the official announcements, here's what the Leviatán roster would look like with their second King added to the squad:
Nickname | Role |
Francisco "kiNgg" Aravena | Player |
Erick "aspas" Santos (?) | Possible Player |
Fabian "Shyy" Usnayo | Player |
Agustin "Nozwerr" Ibarra | Player |
Roberto "Mazino" Rivas | Player |
Their roster would still be incomplete even with aspas in it, as they are missing their two Coach slots. Onur left his Head Coach place vacant on August 2nd, and they've been linked with a couple of coaches ever since. According to the X Spreadsheet, they are currently trying out Goked as their new Head Coach and we can expect an announcement for both him and aspas to be revealed very soon.
