Journalist: Vasco target up to 5 positions in the market | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama remains active behind the scenes to strengthen Fernando Diniz's squad for the 2026 season. According to journalist Lucas Pedrosa, the football department has set a clear goal for this transfer window: the aim is to sign between three and five key reinforcements to complete the group.

Vasco focuses on defense and midfield

The defensive priorities are well defined. The management is urgently seeking a left-back, a position that has been affected by European interest in the starter and the departure of the immediate backup. Additionally, acquiring a center-back is in the plans, but with a specific condition: it should happen “especially if Lucas Freitas leaves.”

To protect the defense, the club has also identified the need for a defensive midfielder, a crucial piece in Diniz's scheme to provide support and quality in ball distribution.

The “trigger” in the attack

In the offensive sector, the planning is strategic. Vasco is initially looking for a winger for “squad composition.” However, the scenario changes if the sale of Rayan to England materializes. In that case, the management is considering investing in a “more prominent name” to adequately replace the technical loss.

Finally, regardless of Vegetti's situation (who has requested to leave), the club is seeking a center-forward to compete for a position and provide tactical alternatives for the coach throughout the year.
