Vasco loanees: how Lyncon, Sforza, Garré and others are doing | OneFootball

While Pedro Emanuel uses the FIFA international break to work with the first-team squad, Vasco’s board continues to keep an eye on those away from São Januário. The players loaned out by the club are going through very different moments: some have become undisputed starters, some have regained their place, and some remain forgotten on the bench.

The survey was carried out by ge, which showed the situation of the players who belong to Cruz-Maltino and are spending the season at other clubs.

List of loaned-out players shrank in the second half of the year

The number of players sent out on loan dropped in the second half of the year. Two names returned, but they are not in the coaching staff’s plans.

Forward Loide Augusto returned after his loan spell at Turkey’s Caykur Rizespor. Meanwhile, Guilherme Estrella, who played for CRB in the first half of the year, is also back. The duo trains separately from the squad while awaiting a decision on their future.

Lyncon (CRB): the best news on the list

The 21-year-old center-back has, so far, been the standout among the loaned-out players. Lyncon arrived at CRB at the start of the year, but it was from July onward that he established himself in the team and became an undisputed starter in the Alagoas side’s defense.

His strong performances come in a context that raises his stock even more: CRB sits seventh in Série B and is fighting for promotion to the top flight. The loan runs until the end of the season, and Lyncon’s contract with Vasco is valid until the end of 2027.

Sforza (Talleres): from forgotten man to starter

The Argentine midfielder has gone through a turnaround. Under Jorge Sampaoli, Sforza went three months without playing and was not even included in the squad for every match.

Everything changed with the coach’s dismissal. With Omar De Felippe in charge, the player started being used again and was in the starting lineup in Talleres’ last three matches. This season, he has made 22 appearances, with no goals or assists.

Sforza is under contract with Vasco until the end of 2028, but the loan deal includes a purchase option for the Argentine club.

Garré (Aris Thessaloniki): No. 7 shirt and good form in Greece

Another Argentine enjoying a good spell is Garré. The attacking midfielder gained more space at Aris with the start of the 2026/2027 season in July, inherited the No. 7 shirt, and has featured in all eight of the team’s matches, six of them as a starter.

In total, Garré has 20 appearances, three goals, and one assist. Signed by Vasco at the start of 2025 for nearly R$15 million, he is on loan until the end of the year, also with a purchase option in the contract.

GB (Chaves): a new chance in Portugal

Forward GB is trying to restart his career in Europe. In the first half of the year, his spell at Fortaleza was frustrating: just three matches and no goals.

With no room at Vasco, the 21-year-old was loaned out again, this time to Portugal’s Chaves, with a contract until June 2027. There, he is taking part in the team’s friendlies during the FIFA international break, but has yet to make his official debut.

Ray Breno (Juventude): former prospect forgotten on the bench

The most worrying situation is that of Ray Breno. The 22-year-old midfielder joined Juventude at the start of the year and has made ten appearances, with two goals and one assist.

The problem is that he has not played since June, when he came on for the final minutes of the 3-0 win over Ponte Preta. Since then, he has watched every match from the bench.

Ray Breno was once considered one of the biggest prospects from Vasco’s academy, but he failed to establish himself after undergoing knee surgery at the end of 2023. His contract with Vasco runs until 2028.

Purchase options could bring Vasco some money

Two of the loaned-out players in the best form, Sforza and Garré, have purchase options in their contracts. If the Argentine and Greek clubs decide to trigger them, Vasco could cash in on players who are currently not in the club’s plans. Lyncon, meanwhile, could return with a higher market value to compete for a spot in 2027.
