Ferreira’s current tenure with the Rajasthan Royals is the result of a significant pre-season trade with the Delhi Capitals. In a 'straight swap' deal finalized in November 2025, the Royals traded Indian batter Nitish Rana to Delhi to re-acquire Ferreira, who had previously been part of the Rajasthan setup.

As part of this transaction, Ferreira’s annual fee was revised. While he was originally acquired by the Delhi Capitals for INR 75 lakh during the previous mega auction cycle, his salary was increased to INR 1 crore (approximately £95,000) upon his return to Jaipur for the 2026 season. Riyan Parag Scores His First Fifty of IPL 2026, Achieves Feat During RR vs DC Match.
