Vasco show interest in Talleres midfielder | OneFootball

In search of a midfield reinforcement who can play both as a defensive midfielder and as a second midfielder, Vasco da Gama has shown interest in signing the 24-year-old Argentine Matías Galarza, currently with Talleres in Argentina.

The Rio de Janeiro club made an inquiry to Talleres a few weeks ago to understand the values and conditions of a possible negotiation. In contact with the president of the Argentine club, Andrés Fassi, the Vasco inquiry was confirmed, although no formal proposal has been presented yet.

According to the executive, Vasco is already aware of the financial demands, but negotiations have not progressed so far.

Negotiation is considered complex

The negotiation for Galarza is seen as complex, mainly because the player's economic rights are shared between Talleres and Genk from Belgium. Additionally, the midfielder has attracted interest from other Brazilian clubs, as well as teams from Europe, Mexico, and the MLS.

In Brazil, Atlético-MG was the club that advanced the most in talks recently, but was unsuccessful in negotiations.

When asked about Vasco's interest, Andrés Fassi stated that there is no ongoing negotiation at the moment, but he believes the Rio club should resume talks.

– He is a player who enchants everyone at Vasco, the executive said.

Good relationship between clubs can help

Known in the market as a tough negotiator, Fassi highlighted the good relationship built with Vasco recently, especially after the transfer of Juan Sforza to Córdoba.

– The relationship with Vasco's executives is top-notch. Serious and trustworthy people. We are seeking, between the two institutions, the possibility of developing joint projects and partnerships, he added.

This positive relationship is seen internally as a favorable point in a potential resumption of negotiations.

Player sees Brazilian football favorably

Matías Galarza's staff did not officially confirm talks with Vasco, but assured that the midfielder is very interested in a possible transfer to Brazilian football.

The Argentine played for two seasons at Genk, where he was a teammate of defender Carlos Cuesta, now at Vasco — an internal connection considered a possible advantage for the Rio club.

Standing at 1.80m, Galarza is known for his intensity, physical strength, and above-average technical quality, characteristics that fit the profile Vasco is seeking in the market to strengthen the midfield sector.
