Even amidst financial difficulties and the judicial recovery process, Vasco remains active in the market seeking reinforcements for the season. With negotiations well underway with midfielder Johan Rojas and defender Alan Saldivia, the management is now turning its attention to the offensive sector.

The internal assessment is that the squad has already gained more options in certain sectors, allowing the club to prioritize the arrival of a forward. Coach Fernando Diniz indicated the need for a more mobile center forward, offering different characteristics from the current squad options. Today, Vasco has Vegetti, who has a more fixed profile in the area, and GB, a young player still undergoing a maturation process.

Among the names evaluated is Brenner from Udinese. The forward has previously worked with Fernando Diniz at São Paulo and is liked by the coaching staff, but talks have not yet advanced. The values requested by the Italian club are considered high for Vasco's financial reality, which only sees the negotiation as viable in case of a loan.

Given the budget constraints, the club is betting on alternative markets. The strategy of the football director, Admar Lopes, is to map out players at the end of their contracts or available for loans, with options or obligations to purchase.

Besides the attack, Vasco is monitoring other positions in the squad, such as the left-back, which may undergo changes in the coming days. As for the midfield sector, the management only intends to seek reinforcements after reducing the number of players available in the position.
