Real Betis Balompié is advancing in negotiations with Vasco da Gama to transfer Colombian player Deossa, an operation that is shaping up to be the club's first sale in the current summer market. The Heliópolis entity aims to recover the investment of over 11 million euros made last summer for the player. The sale to Vasco will approach these figures. After rejecting several low offers recently presented by Argentine club River Plate, the Betis management has found a proposal that may end up being satisfactory in the Brazilian club's reconstruction project. Entrepreneur Marcos Lamacchia is leading the acquisition of the Brazilian institution's SAF, replacing investment fund 777 Partners, which lost control of the entity after incurring serious payment defaults. The incorporation of Nelson Deossa would be an absolute priority within this new sports project, designed with urgency to reverse the results crisis that keeps Vasco da Gama under the threat of relegation to Brazil's Serie B. Admar Lopes, football director of the Rio de Janeiro club, is in Spain and has already held formal meetings with Real Betis' sports director, Manu Fajardo, with the aim of formalizing the transfer immediately. Betis expects to reach an agreement for an amount between 10 and 11 million euros. The transaction is linked to the imminent change of ownership at Vasco de Gama, which seeks to revive the institution with an economic injection of over 400 million dollars. Real Betis Balompié is looking to close the transfer as soon as possible to start planning the next season. The sale of Deossa would be an important step for the club, which is looking to rebuild its team after an irregular season. Vasco da Gama, on the other hand, is looking to reverse its results crisis and avoid relegation to Brazil's Serie B.
