Vasco ‘to explore’ alternatives as América price gap cools Brian Rodríguez talks | OneFootball

Negotiations between Vasco and América over Brian Rodríguez have cooled in recent days due to a valuation gap, ESPN reports.

Vasco opened at US$ nine million, then indicated willingness to rise to US$ 10 million. The Liga MX side are holding out for US$ 14 million to release the 26-year-old forward.

That US$ four million difference has stalled meetings. The Mexican club, backed strongly from within, have shown little appetite to soften their price.

Rodríguez previously had talks with Cruzeiro that collapsed amid a negative reaction on social media and intermediaries driving up costs.

Vasco have not officially pulled out, but are exploring other options in South America, targeting pacey wingers to bolster their attack. The club are awaiting a final signal from América on Rodríguez.

Meanwhile, the coaching staff continue preparations at CT Moacyr Barbosa and track the board’s moves behind the scenes. Recruitment staff want alternatives lined up to move quickly if a withdrawal is confirmed this week. The squad remain focused on key fixtures as the window progresses.
