Vasco open talks for €8 million Turkish full-back | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama has expanded its horizons in the search for reinforcements and has set its sights on the European market to solve the right-back issue. This Tuesday (20), news emerged that the club is interested in signing Wagner Pina, a 23-year-old player who currently plays for Trabzonspor in Turkey and is a starter for the Cape Verde national team. This exclusive report comes from the NTVascaínos profile.

Admar's Strategy

The name is on the radar of executive Admar, who has already started talks with the Turkish club. The negotiation, however, is not simple. Wagner Pina is a valued asset, with a long contract (until June 30, 2029) and a market value estimated at 8 million euros (about R$ 44 million).

Aware of the difficulty of a permanent transfer at these values, Vasco's strategy is to try for a more accessible business model: a loan with a purchase option set at the end of the contract.

Initial Phase

Talks are still in the “initial phase.” Vasco is seeking to understand the Turkish club’s willingness to release the player, who has international experience and physical strength. The pursuit of a right-back shows that the board remains attentive to the needs of Fernando Diniz’s squad, looking for options that bring immediate competitiveness, even if they come from leagues less conventional for the Brazilian market.
