Vasco: David close to agreement as talks with Bahia club progress | OneFootball

Forward David has good chances of reaching an agreement with Vitória for the remainder of the season. Vasco has already been officially informed about the interest from the club from Bahia, which is optimistic about the possibility of bringing back the player who was developed in their youth system and had a remarkable stint between 2016 and 2018.

The negotiation is currently being discussed in a loan deal with a purchase option, a format considered more financially viable by Vitória. Initially, however, Vasco had taken a stricter stance and indicated that they would only agree to a permanent transfer.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, there has been a change in the scenario in recent days. Vasco has given the green light to open talks, which has reignited discussions between the parties. Despite the progress, the format of the deal has become the main obstacle.

Vitória maintained the loan proposal, while David’s representatives began to demand a mandatory purchase clause at the end of the loan period. The condition stipulated the automatic acquisition of the forward’s rights if he played seven matches, something that did not please the Vitória board, who consider the financial risk too high.

In addition, the player’s representatives requested a three-year contract, which also made negotiations more difficult. Faced with the impasse, Vitória’s president, Fábio Mota, publicly admitted that the club is already considering other options in the market.

For Vasco, David had a 2025 season marked by physical difficulties. The forward played 31 matches, scored two goals and provided three assists, but was sidelined for a long period due to a serious cruciate ligament injury.
