Two Vasco academy players leave the club on a free | OneFootball

The youth football department of Vasco underwent significant changes this week. The club confirmed the departure of two players developed at São Januário, who are leaving the team for free and are now free agents to sign with other clubs in the transfer market.

The departures reflect the current period of transition and streamlining of the squad that the Vasco board has been promoting in the lower categories. The goal is to optimize the resources of Vasco SAF and make room for new prospects, releasing players who were not in the main coaching staff’s plans for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Contract termination of attacking midfielder Diego Ahmed

One of the confirmed departures is that of attacking midfielder Diego Ahmed, just 18 years old. Born in Rio de Janeiro, the young player joined Vasco in 2019 and spent most of his development at the club. He had a long-term contract, valid until May 2027, but the termination has been confirmed.

The destination of Diego Ahmed has not yet been officially revealed, but the information is that the attacking midfielder is heading to a new club as he continues his career. The early departure ends the cycle of a prospect who generated some expectations in the youth ranks of the Rio de Janeiro club.

End of the road for goalkeeper Allan Victor at São Januário

In addition to the midfielder, Vasco also said goodbye to goalkeeper Allan Victor, 21 years old. Unlike the case of early termination, the goalkeeper’s contract with the club ended naturally and the board chose not to offer a renewal for the coming seasons.

Fully developed in the youth system of the Gigante da Colina, Allan Victor is now a free agent in the market, looking for new opportunities. The goalkeeper leaves the club that developed him without ever having received an official opportunity to play for Vasco’s first team, thus ending his journey.
