AC Milan sign goalkeeper Devis Vasquez

Historic day for Colombian and Paraguayan football. AC Milan reached an agreement with Guarani to sign Devis Vasquez as their number two goalkeeper. He will be behind Tatarusanu for the rest of the season before possibly becoming the main man next term. 

The deal has been completed for 500,000 dollars (417,500 pounds), according to the international press although the amount was not revealed by either side. It could be a watershed moment for Latin American football given that big signings from Colombia and Paraguay are uncommon. 

"AC Milan is delighted to announce that Devis Estiven Vásquez Llach has joined the Rossoneri on a permanent basis from Club Guaraní. The goalkeeper has signed a deal with the Club lasting until 30th June 2026. Born in Barranquilla (Colombia), Devis made his first-team debut with Guaraní in 2021 and went on to make 28 appearances for the Paraguayan outfit in the league and three in the Copa Libertadores," the Italians' statement reads.

Mila also said that the goalkeeper had decided to wear the number 77 shirt. That attracted people's attention. Fans did not take long in welcoming him to the club on social media although many MIlan fans admitted that they did not know much about the player. However, they were delighted about the fact he is young and this could be a good test of his credentials.
