Vasco closed, on Sunday night, the day before the transfer window closed, its sixth signing: the midfielder Maxime Dominguez, from Gil Vicente, signed with the club and is expected in Rio de Janeiro next Wednesday.
With the end of the window approaching, Vasco needed to speed up negotiations. Therefore, Maxime signed the agreement while still in Portugal, and the document was sent digitally so that the club can resolve the rest of the bureaucracy in time. The window closes this Monday.
Once in Rio de Janeiro, the 28-year-old Swiss midfielder will undergo medical examinations before he can be officially announced as a new reinforcement. The agreement is for the purchase of 100% of Maxime's rights for 2 million euros (R$ 12.4 million). The contract will be valid for four years.
Maxime Dominguez played his last game this Sunday with the Gil Vicente shirt: he entered the second half of the goalless draw with Braga, in a game valid for the fourth round of the Portuguese Championship. The agreement was made by businessman Paulo Pitombeira, who at Vasco also looks after the careers of goalkeeper Léo Jardim and defender João Victor.
With spells at clubs in Switzerland and Poland, Maxime has been playing for Gil Vicente for two seasons and had two more years on his contract with the club. He is a midfielder who plays on the right, a part of the field for which a signing became a priority for Vasco after the injury to Adson, who is unlikely to play again in 2024.
Vasco previously signed strikers Emerson Rodríguez and Jean David, midfielder Souza and midfielders Phlippe Coutinho and Alex Teixeira. The club is still trying to sign a defender before the window closes.

" I see this, but they'll have to prepare, because I see tense, critical moments coming for Grêmio . Many concerns are leaving the team anxious on the field, with a lot of agitation," she stated.

Flamengo faces Grêmio this Sunday (31) , at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast live on the Premiere channel.
Both teams arrive rested, having missed any Copa do Brasil matches this week. "Mais Querido" (the most beloved team) is looking to add three more points to maintain its lead in the competition . "Tricolor Gaúcho" (the Tricolor Gaúcho) is under pressure, needing to win and move away from the relegation zone.
Coach Filipe Luís still has some uncertainty about his starting lineup. Midfielder Jorginho, who has been playing alongside Saúl, suffered muscle pain this week and could be rested . If he doesn't play, his options are Allan or De la Cruz.
On the wing, Alex Sandro is out due to injury, as is midfielder Erick Pulgar, who is recovering. Despite these absences, the core of the team is expected to remain. Mengão's likely starting lineup: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Viña; Jorginho (Allan), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Plata (Luiz Araújo), Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Grêmio, led by Mano Menezes, is looking for a comeback to move away from the bottom of the table. The Rio Grande do Sul team is banking on experienced players like Edenílson, Cuéllar, and Kannemann to try to surprise on the road.
Probable Tricolor lineup: Tiago Volpi; Marcos Rocha, Wagner Leonardo, Kannemann and Marlon; Dodi, Cuéllar and Edenílson; Cristian Olivera, Alysson and Braithwaite (Carlos Vinícius).

Amid the call-ups for the FIFA Date, coach Marcelo Bielsa surprised by leaving Nicolás de la Cruz out of Uruguay's list for the last two games of the Qualifiers . In a press conference this Friday (29), the coach detailed the reasons for not calling the Flamengo midfielder .
Bielsa on Flamengo's De La Cruz: "It's not appropriate to force him to play"
"De La Cruz's process is as follows: even though he's a reserve, he won't be called up. We understand he's healthy, but we believe it's best for him to get back to playing consistently at the club first . It's not appropriate to force him to play for the national team without first being fully reintegrated into competitive football," Bielsa stated.
The coach also highlighted the importance of the player, but reinforced that the preparation time between arrival and the game would be insufficient to use him at a high level, ensuring that it is necessary for the midfielder to return to his best competitive form at the club, before returning to the national team list.
De La Cruz's absence comes amid a recent episode. Last month, Flamengo 's then-doctor, José Luiz Runco, stated in a messaging group that the midfielder had a chronic and irreversible knee injury. The statement resonated nationwide, generating internal unease. The club fired the professional and intensified its support for the athlete.
Recovered, the Uruguayan returned to wear the red-black shirt in the historic 8-0 victory over Vitória, last Monday (25). De La Cruz came on in the second half, played for 20 minutes, completed 95% of his passes and had 100% success in his throws.
With the midfielder available again, Flamengo faces Grêmio this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (on open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
