After negotiating Rayan, Vasco is speeding up its planning for the transfer window, having already secured four signings and projecting new investments in positions considered strategic for the squad.

The transfer market remains active at São Januário, and the question dominating the news is straightforward: how many more reinforcements will Vasco sign in this window?

The sale of forward Rayan not only opened up space in the squad, but also changed the club’s financial outlook and sporting plans for the remainder of the season.

With cash on hand and a clear restructuring project, Vasco’s management is working with a defined goal: to strengthen the team with players who can make a real impact, not just fill gaps.

Who Vasco has already signed in this window

So far, the club has announced four reinforcements:

The signings are part of a clear movement to rebuild the squad, focusing on intensity, youth, and technical potential.

Rayan’s sale changes the market logic

Rayan’s transfer was decisive for the new planning. Internally, the assessment is that the forward’s departure:

  • Opens up space in the attacking lineup
  • Generates cash for direct investment
  • Allows the club to pursue ready-made players, not just prospects
  • Raises the level of ambition for the window

With this, Vasco stopped working only with market opportunities and began targeting structural signings.

So, how many more reinforcements does Vasco intend to sign?

According to the club’s sporting plan, Vasco is projecting three more signings in this window, with well-defined priorities:

  • 1 forward with starting status
  • 1 defender
  • 1 defensive midfielder
  • 1 full-back

The idea is clear: to strengthen the spine of the team, raising the squad’s competitive level and reducing the dependence on young players in key positions.

Internally, the next most significant investment is expected to be in the attacking sector, with the search for a forward who can immediately compete for a starting spot and take on a leading role.

👀 Cuiabano remains on the radar

In addition to the priority positions, Vasco is also monitoring specific market opportunities. One of the names being watched is full-back Cuiabano, currently at Nottingham Forest.

The interest is there, but the negotiation depends on factors such as:

  • Business model (loan or purchase)
  • Amounts involved
  • Release by the English club

At the moment, it is a matter of market monitoring, not an advanced negotiation.
