According to PaponaColina, Vasco have made Cuiabano their top target at left-back and are pushing a loan to buy proposal tied to performance targets.
Prising him from European football is described as complex, requiring detailed financial planning. The club is cautious yet active behind the scenes as it seeks to overcome his current club's conditions.
The stance has shifted from monitoring to a very strong, concrete pursuit. The board, led by Pedrinho, is in regular contact with the player's representatives to align the sporting project.
Internally it is viewed as a conviction rather than a gamble. Coaches believe he matches the technical and physical demands and could immediately address the role in Fernando Diniz's squad. Talks are ongoing to turn intent into a signed agreement.
A key advantage is the player's stance, he has indicated openness to returning to Brazil to take a leading role at a major club in a packed year. That informal green light underpins the club's strategy in negotiations.
The preferred structure is a loan with an obligation to buy if targets are met. The obligation is discussed at between 6 and 7 million dollars, roughly R$ 31.7 million to R$ 37 million at current rates, payable over the term.
The main hurdle is agreeing the size and conditions of those triggers. Vasco must convince his European side to accept instalments and future contingent payments, and continues working to adjust the numbers.
