In order to strengthen the left-back position, Vasco is considering signing Cuiabano.

Vasco is interested in signing left-back Cuiabano, a player who belongs to Nottingham Forest in England. This information was initially reported by GE and confirms the Rio de Janeiro club’s activity in the transfer market in search of a replacement for its defensive sector.

Vasco’s board is evaluating the arrival of a new full-back given the uncertain situation in that position. Leandrinho’s transfer to Al-Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates is underway, while Lucas Piton, the team’s starter, has received inquiries from clubs abroad. Currently, the alternatives in the squad are limited: Puma Rodríguez has been used in an improvised role at left-back, and Vítor Luís, another available option, was the target of strong criticism from the fans after his performance against Nova Iguaçu. The squad also includes João Victor, who was recently promoted from the youth team and made his debut in the last match.

Cuiabano, champion of the 2024 Libertadores Cup with Botafogo, was sold to Nottingham Forest in September 2025, but quickly returned to the club on loan for the final stretch of the season. Having not received opportunities with the English team so far, the player is open to a permanent return to Brazilian football, where he already feels adapted.

Although Botafogo appears to be a natural destination given the player’s history with the club, the Alvinegro (Botafogo) is currently under a transfer ban and is prevented from registering new players, which opens up an opportunity for Vasco to make a move. Vasco is closely monitoring the situation and evaluating the terms of a possible negotiation.
