Dynamo Kyiv eye Vasco starlet, but club set terms, find out more | OneFootball

Dynamo Kyiv has renewed its pursuit of Leandrinho, the 20-year-old left-back who came up through Vasco da Gama’s youth system. The Ukrainian club, which had already attempted to sign him in the last transfer window, has kept the player on its radar since the U-20 World Cup.

According to a report by Agência RTI Esporte, sporting director Admar Lopes requested bank guarantees from Dynamo as a condition to move forward with negotiations. The initial proposal was for a loan with an option to buy, but Vasco rejected it. The board will only accept a permanent transfer, paid upfront, while retaining a percentage of the economic rights.

Despite the rejection, the Ukrainians have indicated they will return with a new offer at the end of the season, and the deal could be finalized in January 2026. Not in coach Fernando Diniz’s immediate plans, Leandrinho is seen internally as an asset with potential for appreciation in the European market.

The player is under contract with Vasco until January 2027, with a release clause of 60 million euros (about R$ 380 million), but the expectation is that any potential deal will be for significantly less than that amount.

As a professional, Leandrinho has played 24 matches, scored 2 goals, and provided 1 assist, with 23 of those games coming between 2024 and early 2025. In total, he has accumulated 824 minutes wearing the Vasco shirt.
