Vasco eyeing standout player from Mexican League | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama is keeping an eye on the international market and closely monitoring the Uruguayan forward Emiliano Gómez, 24 years old, currently at Puebla-MEX. The interest, initially reported by the profile Palco do Esporte, has gained traction among South American market analysts due to the player's strong performance in Liga MX.

Gómez, who was previously targeted by Fluminense in 2024, negotiations that did not progress due to financial issues, now emerges as a potential reinforcement for the Cruzmaltino aiming for the 2026 season.

The forward is experiencing his best phase in Mexico, accumulating 8 goals and 5 assists in the current season. The expectation is that Puebla will be willing to negotiate the player at the turn of the year, especially since he is a valued player who might be ending his cycle at the club.

Internally, Gómez's name is appealing to Vasco's management due to his “interesting profile”: a young player, strong in one-on-one situations, with good offensive aggression and the ability to play on both sides of the field. The position is considered a priority for 2026, as Vasco seeks more depth and speed in the offensive sector.

The competition, however, is not expected to be simple. In addition to Mexican clubs, other teams in South America are also monitoring the player, which could drive up the negotiation price. Even so, Vasco's interest is concrete, and Emiliano Gómez has become a real possibility should the club advance in its search for reinforcements for the start of the next season.
