Vasco monitor Merentiel as potential 2026 forward signing | OneFootball

According to PaponaColina, Vasco are monitoring Boca Juniors striker Miguel Merentiel, 29, as a possible attacking addition for the 2026 season.

Merentiel is noted for intensity, physicality and penalty-box presence, and has impressed in high-level South American fixtures. At Boca Juniors he has been valued for a combative edge and knack for decisive moments, attributes that have drawn interest at São Januário.

He previously featured in Brazil with Palmeiras, part of the squads that won the 2022 Campeonato Brasileiro and the 2023 Campeonato Paulista. That experience is viewed as helpful for any adaptation to the domestic game.

For now, this remains at the observation stage, with no official offer on the table. Even so, his name is gaining traction internally as a potential option to raise competitiveness next season.

For a closer look at his profile, the video below compiles highlights, assists and goals from Merentiel’s 2025 campaign.
