Vasco face Brian Rodríguez impasse, explore alternatives | OneFootball

Vasco have hit an impasse in talks for Brian Rodríguez, with América of Mexico seeking terms beyond the club’s reach. According to PaponaColina, negotiations cooled despite Vasco continuing their search for attacking options after signing Facundo Colidio.

Vasco increased their bid to 10 million dollars, while América set a minimum of 14 million dollars for the player.

With that gap, the club have turned to other South American targets, mirroring the recent arrivals of Facundo Colidio and Santiago Sosa.

Defence is also viewed as a priority for the 2026 season. Centre-back Arthur Chaves of Hoffenheim in Germany is among the options under review to bolster the squad at São Januário.

Hoffenheim value the defender at 7 million euros. São Paulo and Atlético-MG have made enquiries and are considering formal offers.

Vasco are monitoring the market to balance investment across priority areas, and will decide whether to push for the defender or prioritise funds for a new attacker.
