Cuiabano unveiled by Vasco, reveals behind-the-scenes of club talks | OneFootball

On Tuesday, Vasco introduced its two new signings for the season: Cuiabano and Claudio Spinelli. The Brazilian left-back was announced last Saturday, with a contract until December 2030.

Cuiabano had a contract with Nottingham Forest, in England, but ended up not playing and returned to Brazil to wear the Cruzmaltina shirt. The player highlighted the project presented by the club as the decisive factor in his decision.

“What made me come back to Brazil, to return to Vasco, was the project they presented to me. My family and I were very happy. We thought it through and decided it was the best time to come back. I arrived in the middle of the season there, and it was going to be a bit difficult to play at Nottingham Forest,” said the left-back.

“I am grateful to Botafogo, I have a lot of affection for them. But now I’m wearing Vasco’s shirt, much respect,” he added.

The defender also revealed that, despite some inquiries, only Vasco made a formal offer.

“It was the only official offer in Brazil. There were speculations, but the only official proposal was from Vasco. I was happy with the project they presented. I was very anxious to be here. It wasn’t easy, it was a very tough three-week negotiation. I hope this will be a year of achievements for us.”

Cuiabano also shared that he had already exchanged messages with some teammates even before his arrival.

“I got a message from Robert Renan. He said: ‘So, man, are you coming?’. I replied: ‘I hope so’. Tchê Tchê also sent a message. I was just as anxious as they were for this moment. And everything worked out.”

Finally, the left-back spoke about his characteristics on the field and even mentioned a possible tattoo if the club wins a title.

“I’m a very offensive full-back, I always like to be attacking in the final third, scoring goals, providing assists, helping however I can. I am thinking, yes, about getting the Cruz de Malta tattooed on the back of my head. I hope we can win something and make that happen.”
