Vasco sign Colombian defender Carlos Cuesta | OneFootball

Vasco announced this Monday the signing of defender Carlos Cuesta, who has signed a loan contract until the end of 2026. The Colombian defender arrives from Galatasaray and has a purchase clause included in his agreement with the team from Rio.

“I am well. Happy to come to Rio to achieve everything with Vasco,” said Cuesta in a statement reproduced by Vasco's official website.

With call-ups to the Colombian national team, Cuesta arrives to strengthen the defense after João Victor's departure. For this position, Vasco had already announced the signing of Robert Renan.

Revealed by Atlético Nacional, Cuesta went through Belgian club Genk before moving to Galatasaray last January. At the Turkish team, the player didn't have many opportunities and played only eight times.

Vasco's next match will be against Botafogo, in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) next Thursday, at Nilton Santos Stadium. The first match, played at São Januário, ended in a 1-1 draw.
