Why Vasco are unlikely to recoup their investment in one of their players | OneFootball

The strategy of Vasco to loan out the attacking midfielder Maxime Domínguez to increase his value and recover the investment is not having the desired effect. The Swiss player has had a very modest statistical performance at Toronto FC, in the United States, making a future profitable deal for the club an increasingly remote possibility.

Player has modest numbers in the United States

Maxime Domínguez was loaned to the Major League Soccer (MLS) club with the clear objective of gaining minutes and visibility. He has even played regularly, with 21 matches so far, 14 of them as a starter.

The problem, however, is his low offensive productivity. The player has not scored any goals and has contributed with only one assist. The numbers are considered very low for a player in his position.

With the performance below expectations, Vasco's management plan to recover the amount invested in the player's acquisition is failing. Vasco paid about 2 million euros (R$ 12.4 million at the time of exchange) for him at the beginning of 2024.

The expectation was that a good stint in the MLS could attract offers from other clubs. However, his current numbers are unlikely to spark market interest.

Vasco is likely to face financial loss

The trend, therefore, is that Vasco will have to bear the loss of yet another reinforcement from the disastrous window at the beginning of 2024. The difficulty in recovering the investment in Maxime Domínguez reinforces the criticism of the previous management. Moreover, it highlights the challenge the current board faces in correcting past mistakes.
