Vasco loan Sforza to a Série A club | OneFootball

Midfielder Juan Sforza will not remain in Vasco's squad in the coming months. The Rio de Janeiro club has agreed to loan the Argentine to Juventude until December, as he was not part of the plans of the board and the coaching staff led by Fernando Diniz.

Sforza's signing in 2024 was surrounded by expectations, as the midfielder had stood out in the Pre-Olympic tournament for the Argentine national team. Vasco spent around R$ 25 million in the negotiation with Newell’s Old Boys, in a deal conducted by Alexandre Mattos. The idea was for the player to take on a starting role, which ultimately did not happen.

In practice, Sforza was a substitute for almost the entire last season, behind Hugo Moura and Mateus Carvalho, and in 2025 he played only five matches — two in the Série A and three in the Campeonato Carioca. For much of the year, he wasn't even listed by Carille, Felipe, or Diniz.

Unable to make his mark at São Januário, the midfielder will now try to regain his place at Juventude. His contract with Vasco remains valid until the end of 2028.
