Brentford loan pending
According to Gerson Cuban, the future of Basco Soyer has not yet been decided. This is despite the winger already taking part in pre-season with Gil Vicente's first team.
Journalists point out that there are currently three realistic possibilities for youth.
The first is to stay at Gil Vicente and try to convince the club's new manager that he deserves a place in the senior team. This comes after spending last season with the U23s.
The second is a loan switch to Brentford, with the Premier League side continuing to monitor his development through the relationship between the two clubs.
A third option would see Soyer transfer to an unnamed club in the Middle East. People around the player are also considering this option.
Cuban says a decision is expected in the coming weeks.
First-team opportunity or second step?
Basco Soyer enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in Portugal after joining Gil Vicente from Alianza Lima in 2025.
Although he did not make a senior appearance, he stood out for the club's U23 team, and recorded 12 goals and one assist in 33 appearances. Those performances also helped him earn a senior Peru cap. He even marked that appearance with a goal.
The fact that he is now training with Gil Vicente's first team suggests that the Portuguese club have not ruled out keeping him in their senior plans. Nevertheless, Brentford are keeping a close eye on the developments.
The report also states that Alianza Lima retains 35% of the player's economic rights. Therefore, any future transfer, whether to England, elsewhere in Portugal or the Middle East, will generate financial returns for the Peruvian club.
As for Brentford, the latest update provides more clarity than previous reports. More than just monitoring a promising youngster, the Bees are said to be now discussing a specific loan route. Hopefully Sawyer will decide on his next move soon.
