Marcos Lamacchia meets A-CAP as Vasco SAF sale talks advance | OneFootball

Marcos Farias Lamacchia met A-CAP on Monday, with an initial understanding on the terms for transferring Vasco da Gama SAF shares, according to Podcast Cruzmaltino.

The US company currently controls assets once managed by 777 Partners. Talks now move into a new phase, with a direct meeting planned between Lamacchia and the Vasco board led by president Pedrinho.

Those involved aim to complete the bureaucratic and legal steps by the end of March, seeking financial stability for the rest of the season.

Lamacchia, son of the Crefisa owner and an heir to Banco Real e Alpha, wants to acquire 90% of Vasco SAF. The members’ club holds 30%, A-CAP has 31%, and 39% remains under arbitration. Any deal above 70% must be approved at an AGE, the Assembleia Geral Extraordinária, by voting members.

He has signed a non-disclosure agreement to review the finances and has kept a discreet profile. There is optimism within Vasco’s hierarchy about securing a more solid partner than the previous investor.

The need for a new backer stems from a legal dispute that began in May 2024, when Vasco regained control of the SAF in the ordinary courts, removing 777 Partners for failing to meet contractual clauses and amid signs of financial instability. A-CAP later took over 777’s assets and, not interested in running football clubs, has worked with the association club to find a buyer.

Proceedings continue in the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice and in arbitration. A deal with Lamacchia is seen as a route to an out-of-court settlement that could end the dispute and, if concluded, bring new funding and ease legal uncertainty.
