Vasco engaged in negotiations for the 29-year-old Brazilian defender Léo Duarte, but Basaksehir did not want to release the player, who is a key member of their team. Despite Vasco's efforts, the deal did not progress as the Turkish club was unwilling to part with Duarte, who is considered a vital player in their lineup. Duarte's contract with the Turkish club runs until June 2026, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
