R$43m: Vasco accept offer for key player, deal depends on rival club | OneFootball

The transfer window could see a major departure from the Vasco da Gama squad. One of the team’s most valuable assets, left-back Lucas Piton, has attracted the attention of European football, and the clubs have already reached a common ground regarding the transfer fee. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Cruz-Maltino and Besiktas of Turkey have a deal in place for the transfer.

The figures on the table

The negotiation involves significant amounts. Vasco has agreed to release the player for 7 million euros (approximately R$ 43 million at the current exchange rate). This sum would be significant for the São Januário coffers, allowing the club to reinvest in the squad and keep its finances in order.

The condition of the deal

Despite the financial agreement between the parties, the sale is not 100% guaranteed. There is a conditional “clause” holding up the announcement: Lucas Piton is actually the Turks’ “Plan B.”

Besiktas’ top priority is signing Nuno Tavares, the Portuguese left-back who belongs to Arsenal and was at Lazio (or involved in negotiations with the Italian club). The deal with Vasco will only go through if the Turkish side fails in their attempt to sign Tavares. In other words, Vasco fans and management are in a waiting game: the success of Piton’s sale depends directly on the Turks’ failure in another market pursuit.
