The contract was initially closed as a six-month loan, costing 750 thousand euros (about R$ 4.7 million). If they wish to keep the player until the end of 2026, Vasco will have the option to renew the contract by paying an additional 2.25 million euros (about R$ 14.3 million).

Furthermore, the Rio de Janeiro club will have the possibility to acquire Cuesta permanently. To do so, they will need to disburse 5.75 million euros (about R$ 36.6 million). Adding up all the amounts, the negotiation could exceed the mark of R$ 40 million.

Another important point is that the player's salary will be fully paid by Vasco, reinforcing the club's commitment to having the defender as a central piece of the squad led by Fernando Diniz.

Cuesta's arrival addresses one of the team's main needs this season: the defense. The Colombian defender arrives to compete for a position in a sector that has been criticized and could become one of the team's defensive references.
