Initially, Vasco’s idea was to have Manuel Capasso on loan. He even made two proposals: the first was a loan with an option to buy and the second with an obligation to buy. Both were rejected by Atlético Tucumán, who only agreed to sell the player.
Vasco agreed to dive headlong into the business and proposed the purchase of Manuel Capasso. On the other hand, Atlético Tucumán continued to play hard, as the player was extremely important for coach Lucas Pulsineri. It is worth remembering that Capasso always expressed his willingness to leave the Argentine club and that weighed in favor of the positive outcome.
This Sunday, Atlético Tucumán lost to Boca Juniors, by 1 to 0, in the debut of the Argentine Championship. Manuel Capasso did not concentrate and did not travel with the group to Buenos Aires. According to information gathered by the LANCE! the request came from the defender himself, who wanted to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
Manuel Capasso is 26 years old and was revealed in 2015 by Acassuso, from Argentina. Then he went through Defensa y Justicia-ARG and Aldosivi-ARG. In 2020, he received his first opportunities as a professional defending the Platense-ARG shirt. There he played 17 games and scored two goals. Then he went to Newell’s Old Boys-ARG, where he made 16 appearances and scored on one occasion. Last season, the defender entered the field for Atlético Tucumán and had a great following. In all he scored a single goal in 30 clashes.
