Robert Renan has already arrived in Rio de Janeiro to finalize his move to Vasco.

On Saturday, the player will undergo medical tests before signing a one-year loan contract with an option to buy from Zenit, Russia.

Excited about the opportunity, Robert highlighted the special weight this moment has for his family:

– My expectation is immense. It's a dream of my family. My family is very happy. There are still some details with Zenit, but, God willing, everything will come true so I can wear the Vasco jersey.

The defender arrives as an immediate replacement for Luiz Gustavo, who has his departure to Bahia underway. Considered more ready to take on the starting position, Robert guarantees he is in good physical condition:

– I'm fine, thank God. I'll give my best. May we conquer many victories and titles — he added.

While closing Robert's signing, Vasco continues in the market looking for another defender, this time for the right side of the defense. Football executive Admar Lopes is in Turkey to accelerate negotiations for another reinforcement.
