Milan have agreed a deal with Club Guarani for goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, who is now carrying out his medicals at Milanello.
The Rossoneri have been without Scudetto star Mike Maignan for large parts of this season due to a calf injury and his hopes of a January return were shattered after a setback in training last week. There were concerns that Milan would be forced to rely on a backup shot stopper for a key part of this season, something Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara wanted to be fully prepared for.
As detailed by Corriere dello Sport, Milan have agreed to sign 24-year-old Devis Vasquez from Club Guarani, a Paraguayan club. The Colombian goalkeeper landed at Malpensa airport yesterday and visited Milanello today to undergo the usual medical checks.
The player will then return to South America to complete the last bureaucratic paperwork before coming back to Italy on January 10. Because he doesn’t hold an EU passport, Vasquez will take up one of the two non-EU player slots in the squad.
