Vasco player unhappy with lack of game time, could leave the club | OneFootball

The reshaping of the Vasco da Gama squad for the remainder of the season could result in the departure of an idol. Attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira is dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities. Furthermore, the arrival of new reinforcements for his position has increased the pressure. As a result, a contract termination is already being considered behind the scenes.

The player is uncomfortable with the lack of opportunities

The information, released by Agência RTI Esporte, details the reason for his dissatisfaction. Alex Teixeira is reportedly unhappy with the limited playing time he has received under coach Fernando Diniz. The coach, in turn, is not convinced by the player’s performance and has been giving preference to other players.

The return of the “homegrown” player to the club, in fact, was greatly influenced by his friend Philippe Coutinho, who recommended his signing.

Arrival of reinforcements increases internal pressure at Vasco

The situation for Alex Teixeira became even more complicated with the club’s activity in the transfer window. The imminent arrival of players like Matheus França and Andrés Gómez, who play in his area of the field, would further reduce his playing time. The competition for a spot in the team would become much fiercer.

With a contract valid until December 2025, the most likely exit would be through a mutual termination. Given the player’s dissatisfaction and the apparent lack of confidence from the coaching staff, an early contract break appears to be the most logical solution for both parties. The idol’s future at São Januário, therefore, is more uncertain than ever.
