The Brazilian club had Diego Carlos as their top target, but the Copenhagen player's valuation is too high for Vasco's current budget. As a result, the search for a new centre-back has lost momentum, with the club's technical commission and board now prioritising the offensive sector.

Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Vasco is waiting for the release of a DIP loan to increase their investment power in the final stretch of the transfer window. Until then, the club must evaluate market opportunities and find alternatives that fit their current financial reality.
