Marco Lamacchia ‘to acquire’ 70-90% of Vasco SAF as talks advance | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama are in advanced talks over a sale of their SAF to businessman Marco Lamacchia, son of José Roberto Lamacchia, owner of Crefisa. The potential deal is seen as a reset after their Copa do Brasil final disappointment.

According to Canal do Pedrosa, president Pedrinho and his board have held regular in-person and virtual meetings for months. Discussions have covered infrastructure investment, asset strengthening, football funding and consolidating the club’s revival.

He has signed a non-disclosure agreement and reviewed the club’s financials, with a memorandum of understanding expected in the coming weeks to formalise an intention to buy the SAF.

José Roberto Lamacchia said he is not directly involved in the talks, while expressing confidence in his son’s ability to handle any move.

The plan could top R$ two billion over five years, combining direct football investment, structural upgrades and institutional strengthening.

The outline points to Lamacchia taking 70-90% of the Vasco SAF, with the association keeping the rest. Talks follow a court ruling that returned SAF control to the club, seen as pivotal to its reorganisation.

Off the pitch, Vasco’s judicial recovery plan has been ratified, improving visibility. The board has agreed a Nike kit deal, renewed commercial partnerships and is negotiating a new main sponsor that could double previous Betfair sums.

Should a new investor come in, the expectation is for immediate impact from 2026 on football investment and the wider club structure. Talks remain ongoing, and the sale has never appeared closer to completion.
