Daniel Fuzato ‘to head’ Vasco exits after bench omission | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama are celebrating a Copa do Brasil final spot, yet planning for next season has already sharpened focus on the goalkeeping department.

According to Estagiário do Vasco, Daniel Fuzato has not been named in a matchday squad since the heavy defeat to Atlético-MG, and his omission from the bench in decisive meetings with Fluminense was a technical choice rather than injury.

Fernando Diniz has turned to academy pair Allan Vitor and Pablo ahead of the player with European experience. The selection sends a clear message that Fuzato is not in the plans for 2026. He is contracted until December next year.

The hierarchy aim to upgrade the squad for what could be a demanding year, possibly with Libertadores on the calendar. Keeping a player who faltered in key auditions, such as Mirassol, jars with that ambition.

While supporters look to the final against Corinthians, executives are quietly tackling contract loose ends. The indication is that Fuzato could head the departures list at year end, freeing salary space and a squad slot behind first-choice Léo Jardim.
