Things heat up! CBF tries to stop Vasco SAF sale to Marcos Lamacchia | OneFootball

The billion-dollar negotiations for the sale of Vasco SAF shares have taken a dramatic turn, with political interference behind the scenes of Brazilian football. According to information revealed by journalist Cesar Guimarães during a live broadcast on the Atenção, Vascaínos! channel, there is strong internal pressure from members of the CBF to make businessman Marcos Lamacchia officially give up on completing the purchase of Vasco’s football division.

The justification reportedly coming from behind the scenes at the country’s top football authority involves an alleged conflict of interest in the corporate deal. The process is under close review by a new regulatory agency, recently created by the confederation itself with the specific aim of overseeing and enforcing Financial Fair Play rules at Brazilian clubs. However, even with all the shielding and heavy external pressure being exerted behind closed doors, the investor remains firm in his original intention to finalize the acquisition of Vasco’s football operations.

Bureaucratic details and the final process in Vasco’s Deliberative Council

Despite the political barriers imposed by the federation, the planning by Vasco’s board continues at a fast pace at the negotiating table. The club’s legal representatives and financial advisors are carrying out the final exchange of official documents with Lamacchia’s team to make it possible to sign the memorandum of understanding for the sale, bringing the institutional process very close to a positive outcome.

As soon as the documents are duly approved by those involved, the project to transfer 90% of Vasco SAF’s assets will be submitted directly for a vote and approval by the members of the Deliberative Council. The internal expectation among São Januário’s top brass is that the sale will be officially announced to the capital market and to the fans later this week, since all commercial terms have already been agreed between the parties.
