After having filled the nets in Brazil’s stadiums, where he established himself as the top scorer of 2025 despite his reduced prominence at Vasco da Gama, Pablo Vegetti will look to leave his mark in another league on the continent. At 37 years old, he will be the new signing for Cerro Porteño and will seek to keep scoring in Paraguay.
The experienced striker has reached an agreement to become the new face of the Ciclón de Barrio Obrero. He is expected to finalize his departure from Brazil this weekend and travel to Asunción between Monday and Tuesday to sign a three-year contract and be presented publicly.
Relentless in the box and driven by the ambition to win the first title of his career—a goal that has eluded him for some time (he recently lost the Copa do Brasil final against Corinthians)—Vegetti will join a title-contending team in his country that will also compete in the Copa Libertadores.
According to the Paraguayan press, the former Belgrano player will be the highest-paid footballer in the entire league. His goals come at a high price, and he arrives after scoring 60 goals in 141 matches during his time at Vasco, where the only thing missing was a championship celebration. These offensive numbers place him as the club’s second-highest scorer of the 21st century, only behind a legend like Romario.
In total, his record shows he has scored 191 goals in 460 appearances. An impressive average of 0.41—almost a guaranteed thrill every two games.
