Marcos Lamacchia wants full autonomy, splits Vasco SAF funds | OneFootball

Marcos Faria Lamacchia’s group plans to split the money for the purchase of Vasco SAF into four specific allocations to ensure financial organization. The strategy provides for the first amount to be used exclusively for football, while the second will cover annual cash flow. If revenue is R$ 400 million and costs reach R$ 700 million, the investor will cover the difference out of pocket.

The third pillar of the project focuses on infrastructure, with the renovation of CT Moacyr Barbosa. The fund’s idea is to build the most modern training center in South America, at an estimated cost of between R$ 100 million and R$ 120 million. The final focus will be taking on the billion-real debt of Vasco SAF, which is expected to fall to around R$ 800 million after the renegotiations set out in the contract.

Investor demands autonomy at Vasco SAF now and bars political interference

A crucial detail in the contract states that the money generated by football will be fully reinvested into the sport itself. If the club sells a player for R$ 100 million, that amount will be reinvested in the squad, without being used to pay down debt or cover cash flow. This rule protects the department and ensures that the technical potential of Vasco SAF is maintained regardless of the investor’s other financial obligations.

To ensure the project moves forward without friction, the fund demands full autonomy and veto power on the administrative board. The group will be able to block any name nominated by the members’ club for the representative seat until a consensus is reached. This measure is seen as necessary protection against interference by political actors in the day-to-day management of the SAF.

Pedrinho speeds up deal and another Brazilian fund monitors developments behind the scenes

There will be a transition period as soon as all the bureaucratic procedures are completed in the upper councils. In addition to the official proposal, another Brazilian group signed a confidentiality agreement and exchanged documents, but never formalized an offer. President Pedrinho prefers Marcos Lamacchia’s fund and is working intensely to seal the future of Vasco SAF as soon as possible.

The chairman faces resistance from some peers who prefer to wait for the group that has not yet made an official proposal. However, the financial urgency and the clarity of the four-pool plan weigh in favor of the current negotiations. The expectation is that transparency about the destination of every real invested will help convince the members of the viability of Gigante da Colina under new leadership.
