Vasco: Admar shows his smarts, leaves Brazilian club in the spotlight | OneFootball

The return of Cauan Barros to Vasco is already yielding results both on the field and behind the scenes. The midfielder, who played a crucial role in the draw against Botafogo, also symbolizes a victory for the Vasco management off the field, particularly for the director of football, Admar Lopes.

To bring the player back early, who was on loan to América-MG until December, Vasco would have needed to pay around R$ 500,000 for the early termination of the contract. However, Admar used a strategic argument that changed the course of the negotiation.

The director reminded that América had sold Mateus Henrique to Shabab Al-Ahli without informing Vasco, which had the right of first refusal. According to the contract, this breach required América to pay a penalty.

Given the situation, the Minas Gerais management was "forced" to release Cauan Barros without charging the loan termination fees. The negotiation turned into a kind of compensation, as the club acknowledged that Vasco was right in its complaint.

Additionally, the midfielder had his contract extended for another year, with a salary increase and signing bonus, reinforcing Vasco's commitment to investing in the player.
