Vasco has resumed its interest in signing Alan Saldivia, a 23-year-old defender who plays for Colo-Colo in Chile. The club has restarted conversations with the Chilean team for the player, whom Vasco has been monitoring since mid-year. The negotiation is expected to be for a loan with a purchase clause, though financial terms are still being discussed and no official proposal has been made. The defender is admired by Vasco's coach, Fernando Diniz, who publicly praised the player in July. Strengthening the center-back position is a priority for the club in the upcoming transfer window, and Saldivia is viewed as a player with potential to be a good addition to the squad.
