Vasco lodge eight million euro bid for John Yeboah as focus stays on finishers | OneFootball

Vasco have lodged an eight million euro offer for Venezia forward John Yeboah, 26, as they target greater cutting edge in attack. According to PaponaColina, the Ecuador international is a leading option for director of football Admar Lopes this window, valued at about R$49.6 million.

The hierarchy view Yeboah as an ideal profile to upgrade the side in the second half of 2026, though he is waiting on European proposals before deciding his future.

Vasco are prioritising forwards with a killer finish rather than pure touchline wingers. Yeboah marries dribbling with penalty box presence, and last season led Serie B for shots and dribbles per match.

Other options remain under consideration, with América of Mexico winger Brian Rodríguez still on their list, but a gap in valuations is hindering quick progress. Spartak Moscow’s Pablo Solari is also highly regarded within the football department.

Born in Germany and capped by Ecuador, Yeboah came through Wolfsburg and debuted in the Bundesliga, then moved to the Netherlands with VVV-Venlo and Willem II, before impressing in Poland for Śląsk Wrocław and Raków Częstochowa. His form brought regular national-team call-ups and outings at the Copa América and the World Cup.

He joined Venezia in 2024 and operates as a left-footed, versatile attacker, often cutting in from the right or taking central roles. His recent displays have drawn Vasco’s scouting focus as coach Pedro Emanuel seeks extra dribbling and goal threat for the run-in.
