Bruno Duarte, a 30-year-old goal-scorer, has been playing abroad since 2019 and has a profile as a goal-scorer. The Vasco team has a shortage of goals in the current season, with the team's attack struggling to convert chances into goals. The current players, Spinelli, David, and Brenner, have not been able to establish themselves as the main strikers, with Brenner being injured and expected to be out for at least a month.
The Vasco team is facing financial difficulties and has been unable to sign new players due to a court decision that blocked a loan of R$ 150 million. However, the club is trying to find a way to overcome the financial difficulties and sign new players before the transfer window closes. Bruno Duarte has expressed interest in playing for Vasco and has a proposal from the club worth around 1.5 million euros (R$ 9 million) to buy the player.
