Everton fans will certainly be interested in what is going on at Vasco da Gama today.
As reported by Globo Esporte, Thursday is the deadline for 777 Partners to make their second investment at the Brazilian club, following their take-over.
The company were supposed to inject around R$100m (£15.9m) into the club by the 5th of September, and that didn’t happen. Then they had 30 more days, this time with interest added, and we’ve now arrived at the end of that period.
Their lawyers are already on the subject, even though they’ll wait until the end of the day to make a move.
The Brazilian club have noted that the company recently made a loan of a similar amount to Everton as something of a bridging loan, which only makes the situation worse.
Vasco are currently in the relegation zone in the Brazilian league, and risk getting a transfer ban for not paying for some signings.
If 777 Partners are having such a turbulent start in Brazil, Everton should be watching the situation closely, as that may come their way in a near future.
