Vasco eyeing Diniz and Luciano reunion | OneFootball

Forward Luciano, from São Paulo, was offered to Vasco da Gama for next season, according to reporting by Vascaíno Net portal. The potential deal generated internal excitement due to the player’s positive history with Fernando Diniz, with whom he worked at Fluminense. The reunion is seen as a desire of the athlete and an interesting move for Vasco’s 2026 project. However, the situation is being handled with caution.

Luciano’s representatives are trying to arrange an amicable termination with São Paulo, but the São Paulo club has shown no willingness to release the player before the end of his contract, which runs until 2026.

Dip in form opens talks

Even though he is a well-known name and has been decisive in previous seasons, Luciano has lost space in the tricolor squad. His reduced prominence has led clubs to monitor his situation, and Vasco appears among the interested parties. The cross-maltese assessment is that Diniz’s style of play could restore the forward’s best form, which supports the idea of a future attempt.

São Paulo puts the brakes on speculation

Despite the agent’s moves, São Paulo considers the matter closed. A source linked to the club was direct in stating that Luciano will not leave Morumbi in 2026. The board considers him useful for next season and does not contemplate releasing him at this time.

As a result, the desire for a reunion between Diniz and Luciano, while theoretically possible, runs up against resistance from São Paulo and remains merely an intention.
