Cerro Porteño set deadline for Vegetti, Vasco await decision from number 99 | OneFootball

Pablo Vegetti’s future at Vasco remains uncertain. Information coming from Paraguay indicates that Cerro Porteño has set this Tuesday as the final deadline to await a response from the Argentine striker. The club from Asunción is said to have accepted the player’s financial demands and is now waiting for a decision to either move forward or end the negotiations.

So far, no official offer has been sent to Vasco. The talks are taking place directly between Cerro Porteño and Vegetti’s representatives. Internally, the Paraguayan board believes that the leak of information to the press has made negotiations more difficult and may even have compromised a positive outcome.

During a press conference held on Monday, Vasco’s director of football, Admar Lopes, made it clear that the club’s financial situation directly influences the market. According to the executive, possible departures of experienced players like Vegetti and David could generate savings of up to R$ 1.5 million per month on the payroll, a factor considered relevant for the 2026 planning.

Despite this, Vasco is taking a cautious approach regarding the Argentine striker. Vegetti is held in high regard within the club, and the board does not intend to force his departure. The entire sporting plan for the season was built counting on the number 99 staying with the team.

The coaching staff has also expressed support for the player’s continuity. Statements from Fernando Diniz and Admar Lopes have publicly reinforced that Vasco will only consider discussing a possible exit if the desire comes from the player himself.

Internally, however, there is an understanding that it may be difficult to keep Vegetti if an advantageous offer appears, especially considering the player’s age of 37. The final decision, therefore, is in the striker’s hands, while Cerro Porteño awaits a definitive response to determine its next steps in the market.
