Vasco will be able to count on the Argentine Luca Orellano again in his squad for 2025. The forward is going through a great stage with the Cincinnati jersey, in the United States, and encourages the board with the possibility of strengthening the group at the start of the next season. season. He still has one more year left on his contract with the São Januário club.
In the current United States soccer season, Orellano has 40 games and 11 goals scored with the Cincinnati shirt. In Major League Soccer, the country’s main championship, his team is at the top of the Eastern Conference. They are in third place and fighting to qualify for the round of 16. In North America, the player repeats the success of another former Basque player, Gabriel Pec, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, to which he was sold at the end of last year by the Cruzmaltino club.
With Orellano’s loan in Cincinnati ending in December, Vasco hopes to have the Argentine back. Unless the North American club exercises the purchase option, which seems unlikely. In this way, the player would return to São Januário, where he has taken advantage of few opportunities since he arrived at the beginning of last year.
Vasco signed Orellano from Vélez Sarsfield, in Argentina, for R$ 15.8 million. In total he played 25 games and scored three goals with the Cruzmaltina shirt. The last of them was precisely in his farewell, the 3-3 draw with Sampaio Corrêa, in the Carioca Championship, on January 21. He was later traded to Cincinnati.
