Sheffield Wednesday manager, Xisco, says he doesn’t know about about reports that the club are in ‘ongoing talks’ over a
loan move for AC Milan goalkeeper, Devis Vasquez.
The 25-year-old joined the Italian giants back in January, but is yet to make a senior appearance for and it would appear
that there is a chance that they’d be willing to let him go out on loan in order to get some more minutes under his belt.
At 6ft 5 the Colombian is quite the figure, and earlier this year he received his maiden call up to the national team – though
he didn’t go on to feature against either South Korea or Japan.
Formerly of Club Guarani in Paraguay, Milan paid a reported fee of around $500,000 for him in January, and with a long-
term deal it’s likely that they see him as more as one for the future rather than being direct competition for the likes of Mike
Maignan.
Esteemed journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon to reveal the interest, saying, “Talks ongoing
between Milan and SWFC for goalkeeper Devis Vasquez to join the English side on loan.”
When it comes to any sort of confirmation of their interest, though, there was none. The Wednesday boss insisting after the
2-1 defeat to Luton Town that he was unaware about what was being said.
“I know nothing,” he replied when asked about the Colombian. “Sometimes in England I’m not checking the reports, and I’m
not checking”in Italy. I don’t know anything about that report – you’re the one that’s told me.”
Wednesday have just one senior goalkeeper on their books at present in Cameron Dawson.
Rebic books Besiktas medical amid Milan clear-out
Ante Rebic will fly in on Sunday for his Besiktas medical, while talks continue with Junior Messias too and Milan push Devis
Vasquez towards Sheffield Wednesday.
The Rossoneri have been extremely active on the transfer market this summer with seven new arrivals and Yunus Musah set
to become the eighth from Valencia for €20m including bonuses.
They need to whittle down the squad too and there are several unwanted figures in the group that will not get playing time
under Stefano Pioli this season.
Fanatik and TRT Sport confirm reports that Rebic will fly into Istanbul on Sunday afternoon to undergo his medical and
sign the two-year contract.
The deal is only worth €0.5m for Milan, plus another €1.5m in performance-related bonuses, but above all gets his wages off
the books.
They also hope Messias will follow Rebic to Besiktas, although the Brazilian is still unconvinced, especially amid interest
from Torino.
Sky Sport Italia claim that the Rossoneri are in talks to loan goalkeeper Vasquez to Sheffield Wednesday.
