Istanbul, February 6 – Beşiktaş’s new transfer, goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, arrived in Istanbul yesterday evening. The 27-year-old Colombian shot-stopper landed at Istanbul Airport’s International Terminal from Rome, Italy, where he was met by club officials.
Medical Checks and Official Signing Await
Vasquez was immediately taken from the airport to a hospital for medical checks. Following the completion of these checks, Beşiktaş is expected to officially sign the contract with the Colombian goalkeeper.
Devis Vasquez began his football career with Internacional Palmira in Colombia. He later played for Patriotas, Inter Bogota, Llaneros, and Guarani before making a move to Italy’s AC Milan. After playing for half a season at Milan, Vasquez was loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday, Ascoli, and Empoli.
Recent Career and Lack of Playing Time
At the beginning of the current season, Vasquez transferred to Roma but has not had the opportunity to play for the Italian side.
This transfer comes amidst a flurry of activity in the Turkish Süper Lig, with several clubs making significant moves. Beşiktaş had previously announced that they had begun negotiations for the transfer of Vasquez, and his arrival marks a crucial step in finalizing the deal.
The club has been actively strengthening its squad, and the addition of an experienced goalkeeper like Vasquez is seen as a strategic move to bolster their defense. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement and hope that Vasquez will make a significant contribution to the team’s performance in the upcoming matches.
The arrival of Vasquez also highlights the growing trend of international players joining Turkish clubs, indicating the increasing appeal and competitive nature of the Trendyol Süper Lig.
Further details regarding the duration of his contract and other terms are expected to be released once the official signing takes place.
