Vasco da Gama is in negotiations with Independiente del Valle for forward Claudio Spinelli, with journalist German García having initially reported the news of Vasco's interest. Vasco's initial loan offer was rejected by the Ecuadorian club, which is seeking approximately US$ 3 million for the player. Vasco considers this amount high and is trying to negotiate a loan deal with an option to buy, with plans to submit a new offer.
