Some are confused by his name, so much so that they have called him David, in Spanish, or simply “deivid”, as it sounds in the English language.
However, thanks to his good saves, with which he is one step away from joining one of the biggest football clubs in Italy, Devis Vásquez may have more sound and, why not, the long-awaited recognition.
He plays as goalkeeper, he was born in Barranquilla 24 years ago, he did not add a single game as a professional in Colombia and in the next few hours he might be announced as an AC Milan player, with whom he underwent medical examinations on Monday.
“The passion for what you do will make you understand that the limits are mental”, is one of the phrases that Vásquez posts on his Instagram account.
Although Devis is little known on coffee soil, in Paraguay, where he made his debut in elite football, he was already beginning to be a figure.
The Atlanticense went through the lower divisions of Cortuluá in 2015, then he was a youth squad in Patriotras between 2016 and 2018, a cast in which he was called up 12 times but failed to win the title to the Uruguayan Álvaro Villete. He then continued his training stage at La Equidad.
With the Bogotá team, the goalkeeper played the Copa Libertadores sub-20 in Uruguay-2018. There he was present in the duels once morest River Plate (they lost 1-0), Cruzeiro (they won 2-1) and Libertad (they drew 2-2).
After his outstanding presentation in said tournament, Devis was signed by Guaraní, with whom he made his debut on February 21, 2021 once morest Olimpia thanks to the confidence received by the Argentine counselor Gustavo Costas.
Between 2020-2022 he played 34 games, two of them in the previous Libertadores, in which his team was eliminated in the second phase once morest América Mineiro on penalties 5-4, following a 3-3 aggregate.
With the Paraguayan team, with which he conceded 48 goals, Vásquez was runner-up in the closing tournament in 2020 and 2021.
Now the man from Barranquilla, who speaks three languages (Spanish, English, Italian), will have his first experience in European soccer, in which he will seek to consolidate himself in the elite of this sport.
For now, he is living dream days, not only because of what he is beginning to discover in Italy, but also because possibly, as the president of Guaraní, Emilio Daher, confirmed to the Uruguayan radio outlet Cardinal Deportivo, Vásquez will be part of the call for the Colombian National Team to the friendly on January 28 once morest the United States
