Lucas Freitas, who was previously owned by Palmeiras and loaned to Juventude, is poised to join Vasco. The transfer is reported to bear no financial burden on Vasco's finances, according to journalists André Hernan and Venê Casagrande, as well as ESPN. In the previous season, Lucas participated in 23 matches and contributed one assist. This transfer is part of Vasco's strategy to bolster their squad for the upcoming 2025 season under the guidance of new coach Fábio Carille. The club is currently in the process of exchanging documents for the transfer, with Lucas anticipated to undergo medical examinations and sign the contract soon. This acquisition is in line with Vasco's financial strategy, as the club has no budget for transfers and aims to take advantage of cost-free opportunities.
