Vasco close to signing Alan Lescano from Argentinos Juniors | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, Vasco are close to signing Alan Lescano from Argentinos Juniors, with the 24-year-old midfielder close to a move that could make him their fifth addition of the window.

The deal is valued at around 7 million dollars, about R$ 36 million. Talks have accelerated in recent days and the Rio club have presented the necessary financial guarantees.

Vasco believe the DIP loan will be released in the coming days, which would provide funds to finalise the transfer quickly. Terms between the player, Argentinos Juniors and Vasco are already in place.

The view is that Lescano could bring greater creativity to the side. He topped the club’s scouting list and was visibly emotional after Argentinos Juniors’ game on Sunday as supporters urged him to stay.

Internally he is seen as a potential starter with considerable upside. He can play as a number 10, operating close to the forwards, or as a deeper number 8 with attacking qualities, a profile the squad currently lacks.
