Pumas is interested in reinforcing its midfield with Hugo Moura, a 28-year-old Brazilian player from Vasco da Gama whose contract expires at the end of the current season. The Pumas management has requested information on Moura's contractual and sporting situation and is evaluating the possibility of making a formal offer in the coming weeks. Initial conversations are reportedly being conducted through a Brazilian agent based in Mexico acting as an intermediary. A significant factor in Pumas' interest is that Moura's contract ends on December 31, allowing him to negotiate a pre-contract and leave as a free agent. The current approach is considered an initial inquiry to understand the player's financial demands and assess negotiation terms before presenting a formal offer to Vasco da Gama. While other clubs have shown interest in Moura in recent months, he has not accepted any of the offers, which makes a move abroad a possibility. Moura, who can play as a defensive midfielder or central defender, joined Vasco da Gama in January 2025 and is a regular in the team, but criticism from some fans could contribute to a potential exit. His current Transfermarkt market value is €1.00m. In the 2025/2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season, he has made 11 appearances and scored 1 goal.
