Vasco in talks to loan Garré to Saudi Arabia for $350,000 | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama is about to confirm another departure from its squad for the remainder of the season. The Saudi Arabian transfer market, always aggressive and attentive to South American football, has now set its sights on the Argentine attacking midfielder Benjamim Garré. According to information released by the profile Central do Arabão, which monitors movements in the Middle East, the player has reached a verbal agreement with Damac Club and the negotiation is in advanced stages to be finalized in the coming days.

What are the terms and conditions of Garré's departure from Vasco?

The operation designed between the parties is not a definitive sale, but rather a short-term loan. The Saudi club's management proposed a temporary contract of six months to have the Argentine's skills. In return, Vasco will receive financial compensation for the player's loan. The amount set for the deal is 350 thousand dollars (approximately R$ 2 million at the current exchange rate), a sum considered interesting by the Vasco management to ease the payroll and ensure immediate revenue from a player seeking more playing time.

However, for the transfer to be made official, a crucial bureaucratic step that governs local football is still missing. Damac's management has already forwarded Benjamim Garré's name to the Saudi League Recruitment Committee. This body is responsible for approving the budget and technical feasibility of all foreign signings in the country. The expectation is that, with the agreement already arranged between the club and the player, the committee's approval will be just a formality for the attacking midfielder to travel and sign the contract.

The impact on Fernando Diniz's squad

The possible departure of Garré opens up space in the payroll and the squad led by Fernando Diniz. The player, who arrived with expectations of being a key player, never lived up to them and didn't even have a place in the team. Now, he seeks new horizons in a league that has been attracting world stars. For Vasco, the negotiation represents a market opportunity to enhance the asset and, perhaps, open doors for a future definitive sale or the return of a more experienced player after the period abroad.

While waiting for the transaction to conclude, Vasco continues its planning focused on the competitions it is participating in and preparing the team for the arrival of new reinforcements in its attack: the Brazilian Brenner and the Colombian Hinestroza.
