Negotiation values and payment model

The deal was closed for around US$ 2 million (approximately R$ 10.5 million). The amount will be paid in installments over a little more than two years, a model frequently adopted by Vasco’s management. Initially, Vasco tried a simple loan and then a loan with a purchase option, but both proposals were rejected by the Ecuadorian club. The information was first reported by the channel Atenção, Vascaínos.

Spinelli’s profile and Vasco’s planning

The signing meets a priority for Vasco in the market. The club lost options for the position and, despite the arrival of Brenner as a starter, is looking for a center forward to strengthen the squad. Spinelli fits the desired profile: a box striker, physically strong, and with good aerial presence. In 2025, he had the best season of his career, with 28 goals in 50 matches for Del Valle, including standout performances in continental competitions, which reinforced Vasco’s interest.
