Vasco eyeing Argentine striker as potential replacement for Vegetti | OneFootball

Vasco may move forward with signing a new center forward if Pablo Vegetti is lost for the remainder of the season. The name gaining traction behind the scenes is Andrés Vombergar, an Argentine striker naturalized as Slovenian, who is currently a free agent. The information was initially reported by the Argentine portal Olé.

The Vasco board is looking for a number 9 with similar characteristics to Vegetti: physical presence, strength in aerial duels, and a constant presence inside the box. Within this profile, Vombergar is well regarded internally and emerges as a viable alternative, especially since he is not currently tied to any club.
