Colombian midfielder Nelson Deossa is set to move to Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, having agreed to contract terms that will keep him there until June 2030. The transfer is structured as a one-year loan, with an obligatory purchase clause that will become active at the end of the loan period.

Betis aims to recoup a significant portion of the twelve million euros they invested in signing Deossa just last year.
The proposed deal is valued at approximately eight million euros in fixed fees, with an additional three million euros contingent on performance-based objectives. Deossa, a 26-year-old defensive midfielder, arrived at Betis last summer from Mexican club Monterrey.
During his first season in European football with Betis, Deossa made twenty-six official appearances. He did not score any goals but provided one assist. The move to Vasco da Gama represents a new chapter for the Colombian player in South American football.
