Vasco is in talks with Bruno Duarte, a Brazilian striker from Estrela Vermelha, to strengthen their attack. The club's priority is to sign a Brazilian player who can solve the goal-scoring problem in their squad. Duarte's profile as a goal-scorer and his Brazilian nationality are seen as positives by the club's management.
The club is also looking to sign a Brazilian defender, with Diego Carlos being their top target. However, negotiations for Diego Carlos have been complicated due to the interest of Parma in signing him on loan from Fenerbahçe. The Italian club has advanced talks with Fenerbahçe in recent days for a loan deal.
Vasco has also contacted other Brazilian players, including Arthur Chaves, Gabriel Pereira, and Luiz Felipe, but no significant progress has been made in their negotiations. The club remains open to signing foreign players, particularly for the midfielder position, but the priority is to sign Brazilian players due to the CBF's limit.
Vasco is currently in talks with Bruno Duarte, with the Brazilian striker seen as a key player to address the goal-scoring problem in their squad.
