Vasco want SAF investor with more than money: "Marinakis spoke..." | OneFootball

The search by Vasco da Gama for a new investor for its Football Corporation (SAF) is guided by a very clear profile: the club does not just want money, but a strategic partner. The analysis, made in a video by the club's lawyer, details what the management is looking for and what the biggest obstacle to the deal is: the liabilities left by 777 Partners.

Club seeks a partner "to build"

The management of Vasco has learned from past mistakes. Therefore, the ideal investor profile is not that of a purely financial fund, which seeks only to appreciate the asset for resale. The legal VP Felipe Carregal explained what is expected:

The search, therefore, is for a partner with a long-term project, who understands the club's particularities and wants to grow alongside it.

The biggest challenge for any new investor will be dealing with the "legacy" left by 777 Partners. The debt of the former partner will need to be absorbed by the new buyer. The solution to this impasse, according to the lawyer, would be a major agreement between the parties, involving the arbitral tribunal and the judiciary, to provide legal security to the deal.

Talks with interested groups are underway

Despite dismissing recent speculations, such as those involving Palmeiras or billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, the lawyer confirmed that there are indeed ongoing negotiations.

The fans, therefore, can be assured that the search for a new direction for football is being conducted seriously and strategically behind the scenes.
