Vasco know Nino’s price tag, check it out! | OneFootball

Vasco continues to scan the market in search of a top-tier center-back for the 2026 season, and Nino remains on their radar. However, the negotiation promises to be financially demanding. According to journalist Bruno Andrade from ESPN, Zenit has already set the amount they want to receive to release the Brazilian.

The Russians' desire for profit

The Saint Petersburg club has set the sale price between 8 and 10 million euros. At the current exchange rate, this means an investment between R$ 50 million and R$ 62 million. The amount represents a significant appreciation and a desire for quick profit on the part of the Russians.

Zenit paid 5 million euros (R$ 31 million at the time) to take Nino from Fluminense at the beginning of 2024. On that occasion, the player’s staff had a letter from the Tricolor authorizing the sale for that specific amount. Now, to return to Brazil or move to another club in Europe, the amount required is practically double what was invested less than a year ago.

The player’s will and the scenario for Vasco

Also according to ESPN, Nino’s priority is to remain in Europe. The center-back would like another chance in a league more competitive than the Russian one, which suffers from isolation due to geopolitical issues.

However, a return to Brazil is not ruled out. The defender views coming back to his home country “favorably” if no attractive offer arises from the Old Continent. Vasco is monitoring the situation, aware that they will have to open their wallets or negotiate very well to lower Zenit’s asking price, as the club is in no hurry to sell their starter.
