Striker offered to Vasco, club carrying out internal assessment | OneFootball

In recent days, Vasco has received an offer for a foreign center forward to strengthen the squad for next season. According to information gathered by Canal Vasco, the name presented to the board was that of striker Byron Palacios, 30 years old, who plays for Universidad Católica of Ecuador. Known in his country by the nickname “El Tigre”, the player is already on the club’s radar.

The offer has reached the football department, which has begun analyzing the athlete’s profile before any further discussions. However, any possible negotiation will only move forward if it receives approval from the coaching staff led by Fernando Diniz.

The coach will play a decisive role in the decision, especially regarding the striker’s adaptation to the style of play and the characteristics required for the offensive sector. Internally, the evaluation goes beyond the numbers, taking into account how the player fits into the team’s collective approach.

In the last season of Ecuadorian football, Byron Palacios had an outstanding performance, with 19 goals scored, numbers that caught the attention of intermediaries and motivated his offer to the Brazilian market. At 30 years old, the striker is experiencing a mature phase in his career and is seen as an experienced option, something Vasco is also considering in the search for a balance between youth and experience in the squad.

Another point that pleases the board is the business model. According to Canal Vasco, the negotiation could take place as a loan with an obligation to buy, a format considered viable as it reduces immediate financial risks and allows for a more concrete evaluation of the player’s performance in Brazilian football. This type of operation has been prioritized by the club in recent transfer windows.

For now, there are no negotiations at an advanced stage. There is only the formal offer for the player, which remains under technical and strategic analysis. Vasco, meanwhile, remains active in the market, monitoring alternatives to strengthen the attack and increase the squad’s competitiveness for the next season.
