Vasco striker eyed by European clubs, exit likely soon | OneFootball

The aggressive transfer window of Vasco with the arrival of new players now forces an outgoing movement. With the squad reinforced, the management is working to loan out the Angolan forward Loide Augusto. The goal is to ease the payroll, which increased with the new signings, and resolve the situation of a player who hasn't established himself.

Player has high salary and low performance

The decision to negotiate Loide Augusto is based on two main factors. The first is his performance on the field. Signed at the beginning of the year for 1.5 million euros (around R$ 9 million at the time), the forward played 18 games without scoring goals or providing assists.

The second factor is financial. According to Agência RTI Esporte, the player has a salary considered high for a substitute, about R$ 600 thousand monthly.

Vasco is already active in the market looking for a destination for the player. Reports indicate that teams from alternative markets in Europe have shown interest. Clubs from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Russia, and Ukraine are reportedly monitoring the situation.

Exit is seen as strategic by management

The management is working with the ideal scenario of a loan where the new club assumes the totality of the player's wages. The departure of Loide Augusto, whose contract runs until 2028, is seen as a strategic move. The measure seeks to mitigate the loss of an investment that did not yield returns and optimize the club's resources for the remainder of the season.
