The president defended the advancement of the sale process and stated that the current management has been working on financial reorganization since taking over the SAF. He also confirmed that striker David will travel with the delegation.

The auction will only proceed if an investor matches the current proposal, according to Pedrinho. The president emphasized the need for the loan to pay debts and hire players, comparing the club's situation to a business in bankruptcy.

The Vasco president has been working to reorganize the club's finances since taking over, and has ensured that all commitments have been met. He has asked the Justice to consider this when evaluating the club's situation.
