Vasco signed a new contract for the 2023 season and is waiting for the player until Sunday, the 12th; team continues to stir up the ball market
O Basque signed yet another signing for the 2023 season. Active in the ball market, the team from São Januário closed the last details of the arrival of Manuel Capasso. Negotiations between the parties had been advanced for some time, but there was a delay in relation to bureaucratic issues, but the cariocas remained firm in the conversations and closed with the Argentine defender until the end of 2025.
The center back was one of Vasco’s priorities for the season. Mauricio Barbieri has some options for the sector like Léo, Miranda, Robson Bambu, Anderson Conceição, Ulisses and Zé Vitor, but only the first one has established himself as a starter. With that, the tendency is that Manuel Capasso arrives to assume the partnership with the former defender of São Paulo.
According to information from the website “Globo Esporte”, Vasco disbursed around 1.5 million dollars to close the deal with the defender, who belongs to Atlético Tucumán. He trained for the last time with his teammates this Friday, the 10th, and his arrival in Brazil is expected for next Sunday, the 12th. Over the next week, the Argentine defender should be officially announced.
At the age of 26, this will be the defender’s first adventure outside of Argentine football. Until then, he had defended the colors of Newell’s Old Boys, in addition to Platense, Aldosivi and Defensa y Justicia. Last season, Capasso made 30 appearances and scored one goal for Atlético Tucumán. He arrives to be one of Mauricio Barbieri’s main options for the 2023 season.
In addition to Capasso, Vasco has already signed the following players for the sequence of the year: Léo Jardim, Ivan, Pumita, Robson Bambu, Léo, Lucas Piton, Jair, Patrick de Lucca, Luca Orellano and Pedro Raul. That is, with the arrival of the Argentine defender, there are already 11 signings for the 2023 season.
