The period without games will be decisive for the sale of SAF and will be the first longer window for Pedro Emanuel to work with the group of players. The Vasco team returns to training on Thursday and will not play again until October 7, when they face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. This break will give the club's management time to make important decisions outside of the pitch, with key chapters in the sale of SAF set to unfold.
The proposal of Marcos Lamacchia, presented by Almirante Participações e Empreendimentos S.A., is being used as the "stalking horse" or base proposal. If there is no superior offer that advances in the process, Lamacchia's proposal will be declared the winner, and the judge will declare the sale of the productive unit. The sale of SAF still needs to pass through internal procedures at Vasco, including approval from the Council of Directors and the General Assembly to form the new company.
The next step will be the auction itself, where potential new investors will have the opportunity to present their proposals.
