Vasco look to hijack Serie A rival’s move for £600,000 midfielder | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama has already started making moves to strengthen the squad for the 2026 season, and president Pedrinho is preparing a bold market move. The club is monitoring the situation of the midfielder Pierre, 23 years old, who played for Fortaleza last season, and is considering a strategy to "intercept" the deal and bring the player to São Januário.

Player desires to play for Vasco

The negotiation promises to be complex. Pierre belongs to Tombense and was on loan to the Ceará team, which has the purchase priority set at R$ 4 million for 70% of the economic rights.

However, Vasco is betting on the player's desire as a trump card: according to journalists Lucas Pedrosa and Leonardo Lacerda, both the player and his representatives view the transfer to the Rio de Janeiro club favorably.

Promising profile

Pierre joined Fortaleza in August 2025 and quickly gained space under coach Martín Palermo, playing 13 matches and accumulating 845 minutes on the field. Although he did not score goals or provide assists, his evaluations were positive for his collective performance.

The Vasco management believes that the midfielder has room for growth and fits the profile of a "targeted and affordable" signing sought for the next cycle.
