Vasco move forward in talks to sell the SAF, find out more | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama could end 2025 with a decisive structural change for its future. After the disappointment in the Copa do Brasil final, the club sees the sale of its SAF as a concrete possibility to start a new cycle. Negotiations are at an advanced stage, and the current name in the spotlight is businessman Marco Lamacchia, son of José Roberto Lamacchia, owner of Crefisa.

According to information from Canal do Pedrosa, the Vasco board, led by president Pedrinho, has been holding frequent meetings with representatives of the businessman for several months. The meetings, held both in person in Rio de Janeiro and virtually, have covered topics such as infrastructure investments, strengthening the club's assets, financial contributions to football, and consolidating Vasco’s resurgence on the national scene.

A businessman active in various sectors, Marco Lamacchia sees Vasco as a global football powerhouse. He has already signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and has had access to the club’s financial documents. The expectation is that, in the coming weeks, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) will be signed, formalizing the intention to purchase the SAF.

In exclusive contact with the report, José Roberto Lamacchia stated that he is not directly involved in the negotiations, but expressed confidence in his son.– I am not participating, but if Marco, who is a successful businessman, intends to get involved in Vasco’s football, you can be sure it will be in great hands — he declared.

Billionaire Investment

The discussions involve an investment plan that could exceed R$ 2 billion over the next five years. The proposal includes direct contributions to football, structural improvements, and institutional strengthening of the club.

The trend is for Marco Lamacchia to acquire between 70% and 90% of Vasco’s SAF, while the association would retain the remaining share. The negotiation comes after Vasco regained control of the SAF through a court decision, a move considered decisive for the club’s administrative reorganization.

New Scenario

In recent months, Vasco has made progress on important fronts off the field. The judicial recovery plan was approved, ensuring greater financial predictability. In addition, the board closed a deal with Nike as the supplier of sports equipment, renewed commercial partnerships, and is negotiating a new main sponsorship, which could double the amounts previously paid by Betfair.

With the possible arrival of a new investor, the internal expectation is that, as early as 2026, the club will see an immediate impact on the level of investment in professional football and in Vasco da Gama’s infrastructure.

Negotiations are ongoing, and the sale of Vasco’s SAF has never been so close to becoming a reality.
