Target set? Vasco scout striker shining abroad | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama continues to scout the South American market in search of reinforcements for 2026. The management sent emissaries to Colombia this week with a clear objective: to closely observe the performance of Mauricio González, a 21-year-old forward who plays for Deportes Tolima.

Vasco's Colombian Target

The information was disclosed by Colombian journalist Julián Capera. The young winger has been standing out in the final stretch of the local league, sparking the interest of Vasco's scouting department. The presence of the observers indicates that Vasco considers the athlete a real option for the future.

Mauricio González is on loan to Tolima until June, but his economic rights belong to Inter Palmira. This contractual setup may facilitate a negotiation if the Rio de Janeiro club decides to move forward with an official proposal after the observation period.

Betting Profile

The player fits the profile sought by the management: young, with resale potential and accessible market value. The emissaries' trip serves to provide the final proof of the athlete's ability to adapt to Brazilian football and join Fernando Diniz's squad.
