Vasco’s talks for Nathan hit a snag | OneFootball

The signing of Nathan Silva by Vasco remains uncertain after new impasses between the Cruz-Maltino and Pumas-MEX. Initially, the negotiation seemed to be heading towards the purchase of the defender, but Vasco's attempt to change the operation model to a loan ended up causing disagreements and stalling the deal.

According to Mexican journalist René Tovar, Pumas is not interested in loaning the defender, and Vasco is still evaluating alternatives to strengthen the defense before the transfer window closes on September 2. Nathan Silva, 28, is a starter in the Mexican team and also attracts interest from other clubs, which increases the pressure on Vasco to expedite the negotiation.

Revealed by Atlético-MG, Nathan won the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil in 2021 with Galo. He was sold to Pumas in 2023 for about 4 million dollars (approximately R$ 20 million at the time).

Meanwhile, Vasco was also monitoring defender Joaquim, but the player suffered a head injury and needed to be observed in the hospital, reducing the chances of completing this signing in time.

With defense being an absolute priority, Fernando Diniz closely follows all movements in an attempt to strengthen the sector before the window closes.
