Although the club from Rio de Janeiro is interested in reducing its payroll, the high salary of Vegetti from Vasco renders an operation unfeasible for Coritiba at present.

As Coritiba searches for a number 9 striker for the 2026 season, defender Maicon, a former teammate of Pablo Vegetti at Vasco, publicly encouraged him to join. After the 37-year-old Vegetti scored the winning goal for Vasco in a Copa do Brasil semifinal match, Maicon posted a message that referred to him as a 'matador' and urged him to join. The Argentine striker, who joined Vasco in August 2023, is the top scorer in Brazilian football for the season, despite often being a substitute. He is under contract with Vasco until December 2026. Vegetti's salary is considered one of the highest at Vasco, and this is the primary factor making a potential deal with Coritiba difficult, although the club is willing to reduce its wage bill. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k.
