Athlete is an absolute starter in Vagner Mancini's team

Messias is one of the trusted men of coach Vagner Mancini in the emerald team. His regularity and leadership in defense caught the attention of Admar Lopes, football director of Vasco. The defender fits the profile of an experienced player with a good competitive level that the club is looking for to qualify the squad.

The observation, for now, is part of a market mapping. The Cruz-Maltino has not yet made an official proposal.

The possible negotiation, however, is not simple. Messias belongs to Santos and is loaned to Goiás only until the end of this season. The loan contract, however, has an automatic renewal clause in case of the Goiano team's promotion to Serie A.

Vasco prepares for a stronger 2026

The monitoring of a player of this profile shows the ambition of the board. The intention is to "further expand the range of options in the squad and aim to fly even higher" in 2026.

With the team focused on the decision of the Copa do Brasil and the escape from relegation, the management is already working in parallel to ensure a more peaceful and victorious future.
