Marcos Lamacchia signs memorandum, Vasco SAF sale moves on | OneFootball

The negotiations for the sale of Vasco SAF entered a crucial phase this Monday (11) with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding drawing near. Journalist Lucas Pedrosa reported that the expectation is for businessman Marcos Faria Lamacchia to sign the document no later than next week. Once the paper is signed, the process will be officially presented to the General Assembly, the Deliberative Council, and the members.

Despite the bureaucratic progress, there is a deep split within the club, especially in the political group Sempre Vasco, which supports the current administration. An important faction of the movement has taken a stand against the sale of Vasco SAF at this time. The discontent involves names who took part in the previous transaction with 777 Partners and are now under internal investigation.

Pedrinho speeds up proceedings and opposition questions Vasco SAF contract today

President Pedrinho gave full autonomy to the commission investigating irregularities in the American management, and that upset allies who are mentioned in the report. Another point of friction in the meetings is that Marcos Lamacchia’s group will have veto power over the seat the club association appoints on the board of directors.

The part of the group trying to block the transaction claims that the current contract is not beneficial to the institution and has expressed concern about the loss of autonomy on the board. These council members want to push the talks about Vasco SAF until after the election period. They believe that having more time for discussion could improve future guarantees for the football department.

President seeks unity and next few days will be decisive for football

Even with strong internal resistance, the president is making every possible effort to get the deal done as soon as possible. The club’s executive leader believes the financial investment is essential to the department’s health and does not want to lose the investor. Speed in the internal approval processes is seen as the only way to guarantee Vasco SAF’s cash flow over the coming months.

The expectation in the halls of São Januário is that the next fifteen days will be decisive for the future of the project. If the memorandum is approved by the members, the normal procedures for the transfer of control will follow the standard process. The fans are closely watching the political movements that could change the administrative direction of Vasco SAF still this season.
