Vasco get inside details on Nelson Deossa from Spanish journalist | OneFootball

Vasco saw the behind-the-scenes details of the dragged-out negotiation for Colombian midfielder Nelson Deossa exposed by the European press this Thursday (30). According to Spanish journalist Gonzalo Tortosa, from the program El Chiringuito, the transfer is caught in a complex back-and-forth of conflicting accounts among the parties involved. The deal has been dragging on for more than a month and initially suffered a major slowdown due to the institutional instability surrounding the Rio club in recent weeks.

Internally, Cruz-maltino claims it already has the player’s “yes” and has even sent all the financial payment guarantees required to seal the deal. From the Rio side, the pre-agreement with Spain’s Real Betis is in place, but the Andalusian club has put the transaction on hold and is withholding final approval. On the other hand, the Spanish board says the current sticking point lies in salary talks between the player and the Brazilian side.

Differences with the staff and the structure of the deal

The Vasco board is dealing with the cautious stance of the midfielder’s camp, which says the two clubs are still working out the final details of the transfer before signing. With talks still stalled at the negotiating table, Deossa continues to take part normally in the Spanish team’s preseason and delivered a strong performance in a match played this Thursday, even scoring a goal. Football representatives describe the deal as advanced, but admit bureaucratic obstacles are preventing it from being fully finalized.

The Giant of the Hill remains optimistic about the negotiations because it believes the financial structure put together meets the requirements of investor Marcos Lamacchia. The signing model—a loan with a pre-set purchase option—was verbally accepted, leaving only the alignment of bank guarantees to overcome the transition from 777 Partners. Those in charge of football are in a hurry to strengthen midfield, where the club is also in talks with Santiago Sosa and Kevin Castaño.

Who is Nelson Deossa, the midfielder wanted by Vasco?

Nelson Deossa is a 26-year-old midfielder who stands out for his physical intensity, technical quality in supporting the attack, and ability to play multiple roles in central areas. The player began his professional career in Colombia with Atlético Huila, with brief spells at Argentina’s Estudiantes and Junior de Barranquilla before breaking through at Atlético Nacional.

His standout performances in South American football caught the attention of European scouts, leading to his sale to Real Betis. Now Vasco is fighting to finally get Deossa over the line.
