The information about the progress of the talks was originally published by the Spanish newspaper El Desmarque, highlighting the parties' return to the negotiating table.

At this crucial stage of the talks, officials from both clubs are discussing the final bureaucratic details to seal the definitive agreement.

Payment model meets Vasco's conditions

To make the transaction possible without compromising cash flow, the structure of the deal was set up through a medium-term installment payment plan, fitting perfectly into the financial planning drawn up by executive director Admar Lopes. On the Seville club’s side, the board’s intention is to finalize an international transfer capable of recovering the initial investment made in the Colombian while also securing a relevant profit margin for the European club’s coffers.

If all contractual loose ends are properly tied up in the coming days, the total value of the transfer could reach 12.5 million euros (approximately R$ 75 million at the current exchange rate). This significant sum includes both the fixed transfer fee and the performance-related variables, representing Vasco’s major investment to strengthen the squad’s transition sector in the second half of the season.

Midfielder awaits political outcome to travel to Rio

The arrival of the defensive midfielder is being treated as a priority to strengthen Vasco’s midfield and provide greater defensive presence and attacking support. While the club officials finalize the paperwork in Spain, newly hired Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel is already taking charge of planning behind the scenes at the club, mapping out the player’s tactical fit in the starting team for the upcoming challenges, as Vasco looks to pick up crucial points to climb the Brasileirão standings.
