The list includes Maicon, Zé Gabriel, Paulo Henrique, Praxedes and Rossi, always starters.
Vasco arrived in December still battling relegation in the Brazilian league. The team will have two decisive matches against Grêmio, Sunday (3), in Porto Alegre, and Red Bull Bragantino, Wednesday (6), in São Januário. The two rounds will also serve to define the situation of the 10 players whose contracts are expiring.
The planning for next season depends on the division in which Vasco will play and this also implies whether these athletes will remain or not. Half are on loan, while the others will be free from January 1st. The thing! shows the panorama of each of them.
Alex Teixeira
At 33, the son of São Januário could live his last moments as a Vasco player. The striker lost space after the departure of Maurício Barbieri and was used little by Ramón Díaz, only eight games, two as a starter and only one goal scored.
Ze Gabriel
The midfielder turned the tables after a long period without being involved and became a regular starter under Ramón Díaz. The trend is that of contract renewal.
Maicon
The defender was another who overcame the mistrust and won the starting place under the guidance of Ramón Díaz. Despite his advanced age, 35, the trend is for him to remain in 2024.
Rossi
The striker is a reliable player and has been physically fit most of the time. Given his identification with Vasco, his tendency is to renew the contract.
Gabriel Dias
The right-back spent another year without playing due to a knee injury, he returned this season, but only featured in one game. He is currently the third option at the position, making it difficult to stick around for next season.
Players at the end of their loan
Prassede
An absolute starter since arriving on loan from Red Bull Bragantino, the midfielder has been up and down like the rest of the team and has been blocked in the last two games. Vasco has an option to purchase the player set at 5 million euros, for 70% of the economic rights.
Paul Henrique
Borrowed from Atlético-MG, the right-back arrived in the team, but has gained space, becoming a trusted player for the coaching staff. The contract does not include a fixed purchase price. If Vasco wants to keep the player they will have to negotiate with Galo again.
Ivan
The goalkeeper did not reach the goal of matches that would have forced Vasco to buy him. However, even though he has only played three games, Cruz-Maltino intends to sign the player who belongs to Corinthians on a permanent basis.
Sebastian
The striker arrived at Vasco on loan from Dynamo Houston, in the United States, with the approval of Ramón Díaz, with whom he worked at Libertad, in Paraguay. However, the player failed to stand out, maintaining a streak of more than a year without scoring. The trend is that he will not stay in 2024.
Robson
He fluctuated a lot during the season and despite being a starter in many moments, he was unable to please either the coaching staff or the fans. Nice’s loan from France includes a purchase option on the part of Vasco, who are unlikely to make the investment.
