Vasco da Gama was on the verge of securing Neiser Villarreal's signature, having made an offer of €2.6 million plus bonuses. However, the negotiations stalled due to a lack of communication from the player and his representatives, prompting the Brazilian club to retract their proposal. Despite Villarreal's standout performance in the South American U-20 Cup, where he scored eight goals and provided four assists, and his pivotal role at Millonarios, the Colombian club is facing challenges in renewing his contract, which is set to expire in November. This contract situation has piqued the interest of several clubs, including FC Porto, which is prepared to offer €3 million to acquire Villarreal.
