Will Vasco sign another centre-back? Find out more! | OneFootball

The search by Vasco for a third defender in this final stretch of the market has become a big question mark, with conflicting information coming from different sources. While one investigation indicates that the club is monitoring names from the lower leagues, another analysis asserts that this possibility is "nonexistent" due to regulatory issues.

Journalist claims the chance of a deal with Serie B is "nonexistent"

On his YouTube channel, journalist Jorge Nicola was categorical in analyzing Vasco's options. For him, the chance of the club signing a player who is employed by another team in Brazil, such as in Serie B, is zero. He stated: “The possibility of Vasco signing players from Serie B is ‘nonexistent’. (…) The registration window for reinforcements closed last Tuesday, which means a player employed by another club cannot be signed by another team until January.”

The only exception, according to him, would be for players who were already unemployed before the window closed.

In direct contrast to Nicola's analysis, the profile Corujão Vascaíno reported that the club is indeed eyeing the domestic market. The profile's investigation says: “Vasco is monitoring and having talks with defenders from Serie B and an experienced one who was in Serie C, to strengthen the squad.”

Path to reinforcements becomes increasingly narrow

Given the conflicting information and market rules, the path for Vasco to find its third defender is very narrow. The only certainty is the possibility of signing players who were already free before the window closed. Any other movement will depend on a specific interpretation of the CBF regulations. Therefore, the fans remain unsure if the promised defensive overhaul will be completed.
