Belgian club negotiating a permanent transfer

The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande. According to him, the ongoing negotiation is for a purchase, not a loan. Club Brugge is already discussing the figures with Vasco’s management, and the idea is to offer the player a three-year contract.

The profile Corujão Vascaíno adds that Vasco is considering offers from markets where the transfer window is still open.

Player has no space in Vasco’s first team

The main motivation for the possible sale is Leandrinho’s lack of opportunities in the first team. Despite being regarded as a great prospect and having been a starter for the Brazilian National Team in their South American U-20 Championship win, the left-back has not received many minutes from coach Fernando Diniz. The transfer, therefore, is seen as a natural path for his career.

The deal needs to be concluded quickly. The transfer window in Belgium closes next Monday, September 8. Therefore, the clubs have only a few days to reach an agreement. The sale of another youth product, if finalized, would bring an important financial boost to Vasco’s coffers.
