Vasco's standout attracts Arab interest

The great form of Nuno Moreira has caught the attention of the international market. The winger is the player in his position with the most goal contributions in the Brazilian Championship, totaling six goals and five assists. This performance led teams from the Arab World to inquire about the athlete's situation, aiming for a proposal in the next transfer window.

Despite the financial interest, Nuno Moreira's desire prevailed. The player ruled out leaving and expressed his wish to continue with Vasco in 2026. The decision was motivated by his excellent adaptation to Rio de Janeiro and the good results the team has been achieving.

The Vasco management shares the same sentiment and has no intention of negotiating one of their key players.

“Nemesis” of rivals is a key player for Diniz

The stay of Nuno Moreira is a crucial reinforcement for Fernando Diniz's planning. The number 17 has proven to be a decisive player, even in derbies, having scored a goal against each of the three Rio rivals since he arrived.

The squad, currently on break and set to return on Wednesday (29), is fully focused on the match against São Paulo next Sunday (2).
