Will Puma stay? Vasco make call on full-back's future

Vasco has started negotiations to secure the stay of Puma Rodríguez. The right-back, who has a contract until the end of 2025, has received a renewal offer from the club, as confirmed by the executive director of football, Admar Lopes.

In an interview this Wednesday (22), the executive revealed that Cruzmaltino has already made an offer and expects a positive outcome in the coming weeks.

The board considers the Uruguayan an important part of the squad and sees the player’s continuity as part of the planning for next season. Puma is enjoying a good moment under the command of Fernando Diniz and has been alternating between the starting lineup and the bench throughout the Brasileirão.

The negotiation is taking place amid the Copa do Brasil semifinal, in which Vasco will face Fluminense. The board is trying to resolve contractual issues before the end of the season to avoid losing players during the 2026 calendar.
