Puma Rodríguez’s situation worries Vasco ahead of 2026 | OneFootball

The future of Puma Rodríguez remains uncertain at São Januário. The right-back's contract with Vasco runs until December 31, 2025, but the management, led by Pedrinho, has yet to start talks to renew the agreement. This situation raises an alert, as the Uruguayan will be able to sign a pre-contract with another team from the middle of next year at no cost to the club.

Diniz pushes for permanence

Improvised on the left side after Lucas Piton's injury, Puma has been performing well and has received public praise from Fernando Diniz. The coach is an advocate for the player's stay and is expected to play a key role in convincing the management to speed up negotiations. Even so, some fans still have some doubts about the full-back's consistency.

Market interest

The recent good form has not gone unnoticed in the market. São Paulo and Atlético-MG have already inquired about the player's situation in the last transfer window, and new clubs may show interest if the uncertainty continues. On the player's side, there is a desire to stay at Vasco, but his staff prefers to watch the next moves before making a decision.
