With patience, Vasco wait on Marcos Lamacchia to back window deals | OneFootball

Vasco has defined its strategy behind the scenes in the transfer market for the remainder of the 2026 season. The club’s board is currently taking a fully patient approach, preferring to wait for a definitive positive signal in negotiations with businessman Marcos Lamacchia before making larger financial investments in the squad.

With the transfer window only closing in September, the club’s leadership believes there is enough time to work cautiously in the market, although the search for a new center-back is being treated as the hottest priority at the moment. Major moves for reinforcements depend directly on the approval of the public notice for the sale of 90% of the SAF’s shares, which is being handled by the 4th Business Court of Rio de Janeiro.

The billion-real figures Vasco expects for the transfer window

The total amount of the operation with Almirante Participações, a company created by Lamacchia, involves just over R$ 3.1 billion in contractual obligations to restructure the institution. Of that total, the contract allocates R$ 1.5 billion to cover the cash shortfall over the next five years and R$ 1 billion to settle the debts under Judicial Recovery. The budget exclusively for player signings and payroll will receive a earmarked contribution of R$ 500 million, in addition to R$ 120 million for the training center and R$ 30 million for the youth academy.

The purchase agreement includes the personal guarantee of billionaire José Roberto Lamacchia, the investor’s father, and the court set September 30, 2026 as the deadline for the definitive completion of the entire corporate transition.

While the proceedings move forward in Rio de Janeiro, head coach Pedro Emanuel is assessing options alongside the scouting department to map out the names that fit the tactical profile required by the coaching staff to strengthen the squad.
