ESPN BR has provided an update on the ongoing contract renewal negotiations between Vasco and Léo Jardim. The club is actively working to renew Léo Jardim's contract, but the discussions have hit a roadblock due to the salary demands from the player's new agent, Paulo Pitombeira. Vasco has proposed a five-year contract with a monthly salary of R$ 800,000. However, the agent is pushing for a salary that is double that of Pablo Vegetti. Vasco's CEO, Carlos Amoedo, mentioned that the club has reached its financial limit with their latest offer. The club is making efforts to persuade Léo Jardim to accept the offer by highlighting his potential inclusion in the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup. Léo Jardim holds a special place among the fans, making him an essential part of the team. The club maintains ongoing communication with the player and his representatives, aiming to finalize the negotiations soon. Léo Jardim's current contract is valid until the end of December, after which he will be eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club starting July 1st.
