Vasco in talks to sell SAF to Crefisa owner's son | OneFootball

Vasco will enter 2026 still seeking a sale of its SAF, with talks under way with Marcos Faria Lamacchia. The 47-year-old, son of José Lamacchia, husband of Palmeiras president Leila Pereira, is negotiating with Pedrinho's board, which controls the SAF.

According to Globo.com, he has his father's backing and is a new face among potential investors. He keeps a low profile and runs businesses independent of his father's companies and of Pereira.

José Lamacchia remains influential, tracking the process from Vasco's attempt to strip 777 of control to last Sunday's court approval of judicial recovery.

Marcos founded investment manager Blue Star in 2011. He was a director at Crefisa and also worked at Banco Alfa, created by his grandfather Aloysio de Andrade Faria.

Vasco and the Lamacchia family were contacted for comment but did not respond. Marcos is currently on holiday outside Brazil.

Amid cash flow needs, Vasco is likely to seek a new DIP loan early in 2026, a financing tool for firms in judicial recovery. Crefisa is expected to be a candidate to fund the SAF again.

The club previously raised R$ 80 million via a Crefisa loan, expected to last until January. The timing of any resale is therefore crucial.

The SAF's share split is 30 per cent with the members' club, 31 per cent with 777, and 39 per cent under arbitration, and any sale of the disputed stake would require an agreement or a court ruling in Vasco's favour.
