The last offer from Cruz-Maltino, of US$ 5 million (approximately R$ 27 million), divided into three equal installments with the first paid upfront, was rejected by Pumas. The Mexican club made the deal conditional on two requirements: that Atlético-MG would give up 10% of the 20% it still holds of the player’s rights, and that Vasco would pay most of the amount in the first upfront installment. Since these conditions did not progress, the transaction had not been finalized.

According to journalist CL Merlo, the agreement between Vasco and Pumas is in the final stages of adjustment. The defender is expected to sign a three-year contract with the Rio de Janeiro club.

Nathan Silva, 27 years old, formerly of Atlético-MG, stood out at Pumas under the management of Efraín Juarez and is seen by Vasco as a strategic addition to strengthen the defense, being a priority for the board in this transfer window.

With the arrival of the defender, Cruz-Maltino would be close to completing its roster of center-backs, which already includes Robert Renan, and is seeking further targeted reinforcements for the season.
