Vasco da Gama has consistently held an interest in Matheus Gonçalves, a 21-year-old Brazilian winger whose playing style is more focused on creation, although any potential loan negotiation is considered to be difficult. Gonçalves plays for Al-Ahli SFC, which he joined in September 2025, and his contract is valid until June 2027. He has been capped once for the Brazil U20 team and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €9.00m.
