Vasco is already moving in the market for 2026 and has made an inquiry about left-back Reinaldo from Mirassol. According to RTI Esporte, the 36-year-old player is experiencing the best year of his career and has attracted the interest of several Série A clubs, including rivals Fluminense.

The “magical” season of the left-back

At 36 years old, Reinaldo is going through an impressive goal-scoring phase. In 42 matches this season, he has scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists. This is the most prolific season of his career, surpassing the 9 goals he scored for Chapecoense in 2017.

His strong performance triggered an automatic renewal clause. The contract with Mirassol was extended until December 2026. The São Paulo team is close to securing a spot in the Libertadores, which is a trump card to keep the player.

Vasco’s battle against rivals

To take Reinaldo from Mirassol, Vasco will have to pay the new release clause. The amounts have not been disclosed. In addition to the Gigante da Colina and Fluminense, clubs like Vitória, Santos, and Ceará are also monitoring the situation.

The player’s staff, however, sees staying at Mirassol in a positive light. The structure of the São Paulo club and the chance to play in the Libertadores are strong factors. Vasco has only made an inquiry and no official offer has been presented.
