The statement puts an end to the speculation that had been circulating about the possibility of the board bringing in two defenders. According to Admar, the priority is to close with a single defender, considered a key piece to complete the squad. The search is for a top-level athlete, as the board and technical committee understand that the team needs more quality in the sector.

The executive also took the opportunity to address another topic that had been generating doubts among fans: the situation of striker Rayan. Admar was direct and guaranteed that the player is not involved in any negotiations and will continue at Vasco, reinforcing the confidence in the young player as part of the sports project.

With this, Cruz-Maltino should close the window with six signings: Robert Renan, Thiago Mendes, Matheus França, Andrés Gomez, in addition to the new defender who is about to be announced. The board's strategy is to balance the squad with targeted reinforcements, while preserving the main promises of the base.
