The transition from 2025 to 2026 promises to be eventful on the Hill. In parallel with the approval of the judicial recovery payment plan, Vasco is holding talks with Marcos Lamacchia, a financial businessman and son of José Roberto Lamacchia, owner of Crefisa, one of those interested in a possible resale of SAF. The information was initially reported by ge.globo and journalist Lucas Pedrosa.
Marcos is yet another name from the Lamacchia family to appear in conversations involving Vasco. The 47-year-old businessman is the result of a former marriage between José Roberto and Junia Faria, daughter of banker Aloysio de Andrade Faria, who for years was on Forbes magazine’s list of billionaires.
Died in 2020, Aloyisio commanded the former Banco Real, now merged with Grupo Santander. Years later, he founded the Alfa conglomerate, comprising companies in sectors such as banking, insurance, construction and agribusiness. He left an inheritance of R$1.7 billion to his daughters Lucia, Junia, Flavia, Claudia and Eliana. Each got 20%. In 2023, the heiresses sold land in Barra da Tijuca for R$370 million, the biggest real estate deal in Rio de Janeiro this century.
In this scenario, Marcos appears as the heir of Junia and José Roberto. In parallel, the businessman built his own path in the financial market. Since 2008, he has been a founding partner and CEO of Blue Star, a financial and investment consultancy company based in São Paulo. His mother, Junia, is one of the company’s partners. He and Leila Pereira, his stepmother, have a good relationship.
Graduated in Business Administration with a specialization in Accounting and Business Law from the University of Miami and specialized in Business Law from Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), Marcos has worked at Eagle Bank, Conglomerado Alfa and Fiesp, in addition to being director of Crefisa between 2004 and 2009.
To keep Vasco’s SAF as a majority, the businessman will need to close with two parties: A-CAP (current controller of 777 Partners’ assets), which has 31% of the club’s shares, although removed from command, and the Vasco association itself, which has another 30%. The remaining 39% is under dispute between A-CAP and Vasco in arbitration, a process that should not be an obstacle in the event of an agreement between all parties.
