Piton's departure, defender loan and interest in Gabriel Pec: the latest news from Vasco

In the last few hours, the focus of news about Vasco has been on the club's behind-the-scenes activities, with highlights of the team's day-to-day life.

In light of this context, read below a summary prepared by the Gávea News portal team to keep you well informed!

Gabriel Pec, one of Vasco's top talents in recent years and currently playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy, has attracted interest from Cruzeiro and Palmeiras . The Minas Gerais club formally contacted the player's staff but received an immediate response: the striker has no plans to return to Brazilian football at this time.

Cruzeiro was looking to strengthen its attack to compete for the top spots in the Brasileirão and saw Pec as a player capable of elevating the squad. However, the athlete remained focused on Major League Soccer, where he is enjoying a strong run and is a starter.

Palmeiras also approached the player, but received the same rejection. Pec prefers to pursue the international project that began in 2024, prioritizing stability and development in North American soccer.

Meanwhile, Cruzeiro is focusing its efforts on the Copa do Brasil, where it is seeking to qualify for the quarterfinals against CRB , and is planning other signings to strengthen the squad.

Defender loan

Vasco confirmed the loan of Lyncon, a 20-year-old defender who came through the youth ranks, to Volta Redonda until the end of the season. The decision aims to give the player more playing time, having had few opportunities with the main squad.

The current defensive hierarchy, with Luiz Gustavo gaining ground under Fernando Diniz, contributed to the youngster's temporary departure. The club is still searching for an experienced defender on the market.

Amidst the changes, Vasco is going through a difficult time in the Brasileirão, currently in the relegation zone, and is trying to get back to winning ways in the Copa do Brasil.

Piton Exit

Lucas Piton, Vasco's starting left-back, has been targeted by Girona, a Spanish club member of the City Group. The approach comes in light of Miguel Gutiérrez's likely departure to Napoli, which opens up the possibility of signing an immediate replacement.

In addition to his consistency on the field, the fact that Piton has Italian citizenship makes the deal more attractive to the European market, as it eliminates restrictions for non-EU athletes.

A potential move to Spain could represent an important step in the player's career and generate significant value for Vasco, who are cautiously evaluating their next steps.
