On 17 April 2014, he moved to Atlético Paranaense.[5] Bady made his Série A debut on 18 May, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Chapecoense.[6] He scored his first goal on the 28th, netting the first of a 2–2 draw against São Paulo.[7] In 2015, Bady joined Ponte Preta on loan. He made 13 appearances, including appearing twice in the 2015 Copa Sudamericana, before returning to his parent club.[8]
