Vasco da Gama continues with its strong strategy of scouting and signing young talents in the South American market for its youth categories.

Player has professional and national team experience

Despite his young age, Santos Torrealba already has considerable experience. He has played 23 professional matches for Zamora. Additionally, the young forward has been part of Venezuela's under-20 national team, which qualifies him as a player with great potential.

The information about the agreement was initially reported by Pedro Cobalea Neves from Lance! and later confirmed by journalist Rod Silvério.

Signing reinforces Vasco's strategy

The arrival of Torrealba reinforces a clear strategy of Vasco's scouting department. Just like the recent signing of Paraguayan Brayan Grance, the club is looking for young talents with potential across the continent. The goal is to develop them at São Januário.

In the long term, the intention is for these athletes to either serve the main team or generate revenue in future negotiations, strengthening the "Factory of Stars" with international talents.
