Vasco ready with new R$15.5 million bid for full-back Dinis Pinto | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama has decided to intensify negotiations to sign the Portuguese right-back Dinis Pinto from Moreirense. After having an initial offer of 1.5 million euros rejected, the Cruzmaltino board is preparing a new bid, raising the amount to 2.5 million euros (approximately R$ 15.5 million). The information comes from Agência RTI Esporte.

Persistence in the target

Dinis Pinto’s name was approved by coach Fernando Diniz, who sees in the 26-year-old player the ideal characteristics for his game system. The board treats the position as a priority and views the Portuguese player as a “market opportunity” that combines immediate performance and potential for appreciation, justifying the increased offer to try to convince the European club in the coming days.

According to the website Transfermarkt, the player’s market value is set at 3 million euros (R$ 18.6 million), the peak of his career. Vasco believes that the new amount, close to this valuation, will be enough to unlock the deal, since the player’s salary is considered affordable by Brazilian standards (about R$ 93,000 per month, according to Capology).

Standout in Portugal

Dinis Pinto’s current form is the main attraction. A guaranteed starter for Moreirense, sixth place in the national league, he has six assists in 17 matches this season. The full-back leads the assist statistics among players in his position in the Portuguese Championship, standing out for his quality in crossing and support in the final third of the field.

With a contract until June 2027, the player looks favorably on the possibility of playing in Brazil. Vasco awaits the official response from Moreirense to move forward with the exchange of documents and, perhaps, announce another international signing for 2026.
