Vasco eyeing move for Igor Gomes

Vasco da Gama has shown interest in signing midfielder Igor Gomes, 26 years old, who currently plays for Atlético-MG. The player has a contract with the Minas Gerais club until December 2026, but his situation is still undefined, as Galo is trying to move forward with a renewal. Keeping an eye on the market, the Cruzmaltino is monitoring the athlete and is considering the possibility of making an offer to sign him permanently early in the season.

Contract Situation and Vasco’s Moves in the Market

The Vasco board believes the scenario may be favorable, since from mid-year onwards, Igor Gomes will be eligible to sign a pre-contract with other teams. Although there is no official offer yet, Vasco is closely following the situation and does not rule out formalizing its interest if a viable opportunity arises. The search for a midfielder is part of the club’s plan to strengthen the squad throughout the season, and the 26-year-old’s transfer fee is valued at 3 million euros (about R$ 19.5 million).

Igor Gomes’ Performance and Recent Progress at Atlético-MG

At Atlético since 2023, Igor Gomes spent much of his time as an option on the bench, but has recently gained more playing time. With the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli, the midfielder started to have more consecutive starts and showed improvement in his numbers. According to data from Fbref, the player increased his involvement in offensive build-up, surpassing 20 accurate passes in consecutive games and raising the number of key passes. His recent consistency reinforces Vasco’s interest, as the club sees him as a player capable of adding quality to the midfield.
