Vasco da Gama President Dismisses Marinakis Link

The president of Vasco da Gama, Pedrinho, has categorically denied reports linking Greek businessman Evangelos Marinakis to the club's ownership. In statements to ESPN, Pedrinho stated that there was never any proposal, contact, or discussion with Marinakis, describing the information as unfounded and disruptive to the team's supporters. Pedrinho emphasized that the publications do not reflect reality and have no basis. This denial comes after weeks of rumors connecting Marinakis to the Brazilian club. At the same time, the president of Vasco da Gama informed that the club is in advanced talks with another potential investor, without however revealing more details about their identity or the terms of the agreement. Pedrinho's statement aims to restore the truth and calm the fans, while also signaling the continuation of the search for a new ownership structure for Vasco da Gama.
