In a statement from the Vasco da Gama side, it was noted that Cuesta has been unable to play in matches for some time due to pain in his hip. The club also announced that they are in contact with Galatasaray regarding the player's situation.

Cuesta's loan contract with Vasco da Gama will expire at the end of December. The 27-year-old defender has a 5 million 750 thousand euro purchase option in his contract.

Cuesta, who joined Galatasaray in February 2025, left the team on loan in September 2025. The footballer, who played in only 9 matches in the yellow-red jersey, has 2 more years left on his contract with Galatasaray.
