Move internally during COVID (SA to FT)

I had my summer internship at a top BB virtually in 2020 and the intern staffer placed me in the team which sits on the bottom of my wish list. I worked super hard and got along well with the team. Got my FT offer in the same team but I genuinely don’t think it’s a match for my passion and long term career goal. I have been low-key networking with my dream team and just love everything that they are doing. My background and skill sets are good match with my dream team as well. I just love the industry so much and don’t think I will be happy becoming a specialist in other industries. Any thoughts about if I should/how to negotiate an internal team change? Anyone who has done it or know how it plays out in top BB? Any advice to navigate the move in a non-aggressive and loyal manner?
