Vasco could suffer a major loss in its midfield for the second half of the season. Midfielder Nuno Moreira began the collective vacation period amid total uncertainty over his future at São Januário. According to reporting by the Podcast Cruzmaltino profile, the player is in a situation that deserves the board’s utmost attention during this break between seasons. He is not satisfied with the current behind-the-scenes situation and is considering seeking a transfer to return to European football in the July transfer window.

The player’s dissatisfaction gained momentum at Vasco after he showed a technical level below what he had displayed throughout last season. In addition to his drop in form on the pitch, the recent exposure involving his name behind the scenes at the Rio club has also strained his relationship with the institution. So far, the executive management has not issued any official decision regarding the midfielder’s future, but the market is expected to be active for the player.

Lucas Piton’s situation at Vasco

The atmosphere of uncertainty in the Cruz-Maltino dressing room under coach Renato Gaúcho is not limited to the Portuguese midfielder. Left-back Lucas Piton also began the break in the national calendar without knowing whether he will return for the official commitments of the second half of the season. According to information released by the Atenção, Vascaínos! channel, the full-back has a strong chance of being sold permanently due to strong approaches and interest from foreign clubs in his football. The player has even already contacted his agents to look for concrete offers in Europe.

The imminent loss of key starters is accelerating the search for reinforcements by football director Admar Lopes. The sporting management of the Gigante da Colina is focusing its efforts on the South American market and is trying to move forward with the signing of Argentine center-back Lautaro Di Lollo, a young Boca Juniors prospect. The executives are seeking to complete the first deals before the end of the players’ collective vacation, taking advantage of the pause in the national round-robin tournament for the World Cup.

Vasco’s planning and finances

To make room in the wage bill and enable sporting investments in July, Vasco’s board is making further adjustments at the Moacyr Barbosa training center. The club approved the permanent departures of experienced defensive midfielder Tchê Tchê, who collected his personal belongings from the dressing room, and attacking midfielder Matheus França, whose loan spell is ending as he returns to English football.

On the other hand, the coaching staff secured the renewal of Robert Renan’s loan from Russia’s Zenit, extending the defender’s stay until December.
