Vasco da Gama finalized on the morning of this Wednesday (21st) the signing of its third reinforcement for the 2026 season. The forward Marino Hinestroza, 23 years old, has signed a contract with the Rio de Janeiro club and is expected in Rio de Janeiro in the coming days for medical exams and the official announcement. The agreement will be valid for four years.

Operation details

To overcome competition from Boca Juniors, Vasco will pay around US$ 5 million (approximately R$ 30 million) to acquire 80% of the economic rights of the player from Atlético Nacional. The Vasco offer was considered superior by the Colombians precisely because it allows the Medellín club to keep 20% of the rights, aiming for future profits.

Former Vasco target

Hinestroza had long been a target at São Januário. The player had been on the radar since the management of Carlos Amodeo and had his name approved by the current director, the Portuguese Admar Lopes. After a previous failed attempt, when the club opted for Andrés Gómez, Vasco renewed its efforts and won the race against South American giants.

The board’s expectation is to announce both Hinestroza and Brenner later this week, strengthening the attacking options for coach Fernando Diniz.
