Vasco ‘in advanced talks’ for Europe-based Brazilian No eight amid Lukaku rumours | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama are pursuing a high-impact signing to close out 2025, with talks kept under strict secrecy. Salary terms are said to be agreed, which would place the player at the top of the club’s wage bill.

In recent hours, social media linked Romelu Lukaku to the move, buoyed by Nike’s arrival as the new kit supplier and talk of brand internationalisation. That noise appears typical of a window, and Atenção Vascaínos reports the trail leads elsewhere.

The report points to negotiations at an advanced stage for a Brazilian currently playing in Europe. The target is described as a more technically viable option.

The profile is a No eight, a classy midfielder expected to address issues in the middle of the park, and the move is thought to have the full backing of Vasco supporters.

The name is being kept under wraps to avoid jeopardising talks, and the deal could be completed before the turn of the year.
