Defender Nino has given the go-ahead to play for Vasco. We have learned that the player has already settled all the details with Cruzmaltino and communicated to Zenit, from Russia, his desire to return to Brazil to wear the jersey of the Giant of the Hill.

Vasco presented a purchase proposal to the Russian club in terms similar to those previously made to Galatasaray: installment payment. Zenit, however, is pressuring to receive a larger slice of the value right in the first installment, a condition that is still being adjusted in the negotiations.
Even without an initial intention to release the defender, Nino's desire weighed in. The athlete has already been withdrawn from the Russian team's latest matches, a sign that the negotiation may be concluded soon.

Another determining factor was the direct contact of coach Fernando Diniz, who worked with Nino at Fluminense and stepped in to reinforce Vasco's desire to count on the defender.
The search for the defender had been anticipated by the Attention Vascaínos profile, and now the agreement between player and club is already a reality — only the final definition between Vasco and Zenit remains to formalize the transfer.
