Vasco resumes negotiations with Botafogo for Marlon Freitas | Vasco

Foreigners shine and participate in 80% of Vasco’s goals this year

Vasco had previously made contact, but the rival’s initial request was considered too high and cooled the negotiations.

Marlon Freitas has a contract with Botafogo until December 2025. John Textor, owner of SAF alvinegra, promises to play hard to release the athlete. The club does not intend to get rid of the midfielder – especially for a rival. In addition to his importance on the field, the player is considered one of the leaders and most influential in the locker room.

Vasco’s SAF is aware of the difficulties, but the player is a dream for Ramón Díaz’s coaching staff, so Vasco will make an effort to try to sign him. In principle, the club would not invest heavily in the acquisition of economic rights, but has been talking to 777 Partners to seek the reinforcement so requested by the Argentine coach.

Vasco has not had a football director since the departure of Alexandre Mattos, and day-to-day operations have been managed by a committee formed by CEO Lúcio Barbosa, scouts and the technical committee. Ramón and Emiliano Díaz are in constant contact with the head of the SAF.
