Colidio, Sosa in at Vasco as Lescano set to land after Flamengo links | OneFootball

Vasco have moved for a trio previously linked with Flamengo, with two arrivals already made and a third expected in Rio on Friday. According to PaponaColina, the club acted despite financial constraints and ongoing SAF restructuring.

Facundo Colidio, 26, has joined from River Plate and signed a long-term deal as shirt number nine. Developed at Inter Milan, with spells at Sint-Truiden and Tigre, he is comfortable as a centre-forward, second striker or off the left. He impressed at River with goals and assists, becoming a starter under Marcelo Gallardo, and is one of Pedro Emanuel’s attacking bets for the run-in.

Santiago Sosa, 27, has been announced on a permanent move from Racing and is the new number five, contracted until the end of 2029. The La Plata native came through River Plate, featured for Atlanta United, and was influential in Racing’s 2024 Copa Sul-Americana triumph. A holding midfielder with leadership and reading of play, he can also cover at centre-back.

Completing the trio is Alan Lescano, 24, of Argentinos Juniors, for whom a club-to-club agreement was advanced on Thursday. He is expected in Rio on Friday for medicals before signing a four-year contract. A left-footer and Argentinos’ number 10, he offers craft, shooting from range and set-piece threat, highlighted by a recent free-kick strike.

The adaptation of Sosa and Colidio at São Januário was among the factors encouraging Lescano to accept the move. Together the three represent a robust investment in the Argentine market, for names that had sat on a rival radar. Vasco are working to register the reinforcements for the Copa Sul-Americana and aim to pull clear in the Brasileirão while pushing on other fronts.
