Vasco loan Guilherme Estrella to CRB for more game time | OneFootball

CRB has completed the signing of midfielder Guilherme Estrella, a 20-year-old player who belongs to Vasco da Gama. The athlete has a scheduled trip and will arrive in Maceió this Thursday (19) to sign the loan contract. The registration period for the Campeonato Alagoano has already ended, and bureaucracy excludes the new reinforcement from the state competition this season. He joins the northeastern club focused on competing in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Nordeste, and the Copa do Brasil.

The transfer investigation was published by journalist Iverson Fernandes in a joint effort with Marlon Araújo, current sports commentator for the program Timaço da Gazeta, broadcast by Gazeta FM radio. The Vasco board planned this negotiation with the main goal of providing more experience and exposure to the athlete trained in the club's youth categories.

Estrella's Journey at Vasco

The midfielder emerged as a great promise at São Januário and gained real opportunities in the professional team during the 2024 season. He scored a goal against São Paulo in the national championship but suffered a meniscus injury in his knee in the following game against Botafogo. The physical problem required immediate surgical intervention and kept the player off the field for a long period of physiotherapy and muscle recovery.

Competition in Vasco's creative sector increased drastically this year in 2026, limiting the young player's minutes on the field. Coach Fernando Diniz found the Colombian Johan Rojas to be the ideal name to dictate the midfield pace in the state championship games. The transfer to Alagoas football offers the opportunity to play regularly in a tournament with high physical and technical demands like Série B.

CRB was scouting the market for a player with playmaking characteristics to supply its offensive system in the challenging national competitions. The release of the young player is part of the reduction of Vasco's payroll, which has already confirmed the departure of 16 athletes in this current transfer window.
