Lucas Freitas, a 25-year-old Brazilian-Portuguese defender, received multiple proposals during the last transfer window, but they were refused because the defender wishes to remain at Vasco. Rubin Kazan from Russia, OH Leuven from Belgium, and New York City from the United States all made contact for the player. Previously, Shendong Luneng of China and Fenerbahçe of Turkey had shown interest in Freitas. The former Brazil U20 international joined Vasco in January 2025, and his contract is valid until the end of 2027. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €1.00m. In the 2025/2026 season so far, he has made 3 appearances and scored 1 goal in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
