Cruz-Maltino’s idea is to promote an economic model that involves a loan with an option to purchase at the end of the contract
In addition to being close to signing Johan Rojas, Vasco has resumed negotiations to sign Alan Saldivia, a 23-year-old defender, who belongs to Colo-Colo, Chile. The player has already been on the club’s radar since the middle of the 2025 season and already enjoys the trust of manager Fernando Diniz. The information comes from “ge”.
Vasco’s idea is to promote an economic model that involves a loan with an option to purchase at the end of the contract. Conversations are in their early stages, no official proposals have been presented, and values remain under discussion with the Chilean club.
The possible signing has the support of Fernando Diniz, who knows and has already praised the Uruguayan’s style on the pitch. The defender, in fact, is considered one of the promises of South American football in this position and has established himself as a starter in the Chilean team.
Alan Saldivia, 23, has been in Colo-Colo since 2022. He has played 93 matches for the Chilean club. He has yet to score any goals, but has contributed three assists. Additionally, the player participated in the Chilean Championship (2024), Chilean Cup (2023) and Chilean Supercup (2024) titles.
If they agree with Saldivia, Vasco will still have Cuesta, Robert Renan, Lucas Freitas for the defensive sector. Oliveira, after all, is heading to Ceará. On the other hand, Hugo Moura, who evolved in the sector in an improvised manner, could return to his original position.
