Vasco DA Gama is negotiating the release of midfielder Hugo Moura. The player is in the plans of coach Renato Gaúcho, but his contract ends at the end of the year. The club's management sees the player's exit as a significant cost-saving measure, as the Japanese club that will sign him will assume his full salary. Additionally, the immediate release of the player will allow Vasco DA Gama to open space for new reinforcements. Midfielder Tchê Tchê is also in discussion to leave the Rio de Janeiro club in this transfer window. Hugo Moura played 11 games in the Brazilian Championship and did not reach the maximum number of games stipulated by the CBF. He is free to defend another team in the Serie A, if he receives offers from the national market. The Vasco DA Gama management is moving behind the scenes of the football market to reduce the payroll and open space for new reinforcements. Coach Renato Gaúcho admires the player's football, but the technical commission does not intend to create obstacles for the transfer. The player's release may generate a significant cost-saving measure for Vasco DA Gama's coffers.
