Vasco star draws interest from Germany, Italy and Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Voted the best right-back of the 2025 Brasileirão at the CBF awards this Monday, Paulo Henrique of Vasco has been attracting attention both inside and outside the country. In recent weeks, two European clubs — one from Germany and another from Italy — have intensified contact with the player’s representatives, requesting information about values and conditions for a possible transfer. A team from Saudi Arabia has also recently expressed interest.

So far, however, no official offer has been made to Vasco.

The player is enjoying an excellent phase wearing the cruz-maltina shirt and is aware that an immediate transfer could affect his chances of playing in the 2026 World Cup. Paulo Henrique was present in Carlo Ancelotti’s last two call-ups and remains hopeful of securing his place at the World Cup — something that a sudden change of environment could put at risk.

On the other hand, at 29 years old, the right-back also sees this as one of the last opportunities in his career to play for a top club in Europe. Both interested teams are currently competing in the Champions League, which makes the scenario even more attractive.

Vasco, in turn, is relying on the long-term contract — which still has three years remaining — to prevent the player’s departure in the next transfer window. The club intends to meet with Paulo Henrique’s representatives in the coming weeks to discuss a possible salary increase.

This season, the right-back has 56 appearances, with five goals and eight assists, numbers that consolidate his importance in the squad.
