Vasco da Gama approves R$ 4 billion sale of 90% SAF stake
The Vasco da Gama Deliberative Council has approved the sale of 90% of the club's Football Corporation (SAF) to Almirantes Participações, a company owned by businessman Marcos Lamacchia. The transaction is valued at approximately R$ 4 billion.
As part of the deal, the investor intends to provide a minimum capital injection of R$ 500 million and address the club's debt, which exceeds R$ 1 billion, through judicial recovery. Additionally, the proposal includes an annual allocation of R$ 15 million for the club's social activities.
To facilitate the sale, the council also approved a change to the club's statute by a vote of 172 to 34. The proposal now moves to an Extraordinary General Assembly (AGE) for a final decision.
During the proceedings, the Council of Merit raised concerns regarding the lack of protection clauses, such as repurchase rights or exit mechanisms in the event of investor default. Furthermore, the National Agency for Regulation and Sustainability of Football (Anresf) is investigating a potential conflict of interest, noting that Marcos Lamacchia is the stepson of Palmeiras president Leila Pereira.
