Vasco is in negotiations with a club from the interior of São Paulo for the transfer of a midfielder who is not part of the technical staff's plans for the remainder of the season. The discussion involves a young player trained at the club, who has been on recent loans and is expected to seek opportunities with another team again. The negotiation is with Inter de Limeira, according to information from CBN Campinas.

The player was loaned to Cuiabá and Avaí throughout 2025, but failed to establish himself. Upon returning to Vasco, he played a match at the beginning of the Campeonato Carioca, but was not utilized by Fernando Diniz, which paved the way for new negotiations.

In March, the athlete was loaned to Cuiabá with a contract valid until the end of the last season. At the Mato Grosso club, he had few opportunities: he played only once, in the team's debut in Serie B, against Volta Redonda, on April 20, playing for about 25 minutes in the 1-0 victory at Raulino de Oliveira.

After this match, the midfielder was still listed for another six games but remained on the bench on all occasions. The lack of opportunities accelerated the search for a new destination in 2026.

Now, Vasco's management is negotiating terms with the interested club, evaluating the best business model to facilitate the player's departure and continue his career.
