The 2023 season has not been easy at all for Vasco da Gama. However, that did not prevent him from going in search of famous names to try to reverse the situation, on the contrary.
The Rio de Janeiro cast had an interesting activity in the winter market, in which they added figures such as Dimitri Payet and Gary Medel, as well as Ramón Díaz to lead the team. In addition, they would have made an attempt for Edinson Cavani.

Cavani’s “no” to Vasco
According to Globo Esporte, Vascao looked for the Uruguayan striker in the last transfer book, while they were looking for an exit from Valencia in Spain. However, the “Matador” leaned towards the Boca Juniors proposal.
Well, unlike the Brazilian team, Xeneize offered them the possibility of competing in the Copa Libertadores. Furthermore, Vasco’s situation was not at all tempting: it was at the bottom of the Brasileirao and showed no signs of improvement.
The arrival of Ramón Díaz meant a positive change, although the club is still in the relegation zone: it is in 17th place with 27 points, one away from salvation and with 12 games left. The lead was reinforced by Pablo Vegetti, a 35-year-old Argentine forward who has already scored seven goals in 10 games.
Cavani, for his part, has his sights set on the Libertadores final against Fluminense, on Saturday, November 4 at the Maracaná.
