European giants eye Vasco players, one valued at R$ 55 million | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama is experiencing a tense moment in the transfer market. While seeking reinforcements for the midfield and defense, the club faces a real risk of losing its two starting full-backs. The excellent 2025 season increased the value of Lucas Piton and Paulo Henrique, attracting interest from foreign clubs. Although the management feels secure with contracts renewed until December 2028, the constant attention could lead to official offers at any moment.

Piton's Situation at Vasco

On the left side, Lucas Piton is the target. The player's staff has received inquiries in recent weeks to assess the feasibility of a transfer, with ongoing talks primarily with European clubs, with Besiktas (Turkey) being the strongest contender.

Although there is no official proposal on Pedrinho's table today, the departure is "on the agenda." Vasco admits to negotiating if the values are advantageous. Piton is a valuable asset: he finished 2025 as the team's "assist leader" (12 decisive passes) and has impressive numbers for the club, with 156 matches, eight goals, and 27 assists.

Paulo Henrique and the World Cup

On the right side, the situation involves high figures and sporting dreams. Paulo Henrique (PH) has caught the attention of Inter Milan (Italy), a club from Germany, and also from Saudi Arabian football. To open talks, Vasco has set a steep price: around US$ 10 million (equivalent to R$ 55.3 million).

The key factor here is the career project. PH had the best year of his life in 2025 (5 goals and 8 assists), reaching Carlo Ancelotti's Brazilian National Team. The player is happy in Rio and acknowledges that leaving now could reduce his chances of playing in the 2026 World Cup. However, his representatives keep their "ears open" to the market.
