Huracán sound out Vasco over Alan Saldivia move | OneFootball

The transfer market continues to stir things up behind the scenes at São Januário this Wednesday (29). Huracán of Argentina has shown genuine interest and made the first formal contacts in an attempt to sign center-back Alan Saldivia, who belongs to Vasco. The information was first reported by journalist Venê Casagrande.

Executives from the Buenos Aires club sought detailed information from the defender’s camp to understand the feasibility of a move in this transfer window. This is not the first approach the player has received from Argentine football, as Independiente had also recently placed his name on its monitoring list, making Huracán another possible way out in the market.

Loss of space and defensive reshuffle at Vasco

The Argentines’ initial contacts come at a time when the defensive sector is undergoing careful evaluation by Vasco’s directors. The football department is focusing its efforts on the search for a center-back with greater physical presence and leadership to be coach Pedro Emanuel’s Plan A. If Huracán’s financial proposal pleases the board, the deal could move forward without major obstacles in the coming days.

The coaching staff is not expected to create obstacles to Saldivia’s departure, since the current priority in this window is to trim the wage bill by moving on players who have lost playing time, opening space for the new signings that are close to arriving. Vasco is waiting for a formal purchase offer or a loan proposal with compensation to proceed with the bureaucratic steps.

Alan Saldivia’s history at Vasco

Alan Saldivia arrived at Vasco surrounded by high expectations to strengthen the back line, but his time at the club ended up being marked by sharp inconsistency in form. The Uruguayan defender had opportunities in the starting team, but came under heavy internal pressure after several moments of severe technical misfortune on the pitch, even scoring three own goals in decisive matches.

These recurring mistakes damaged his standing with the fans and cost him his place in the team, leading to a definitive loss of space in the squad and regular appearances on the bench in the Brazilian Championship. In addition, his poor performances in training were decisive in pushing Saldivia out of Vasco’s plans.
