With just hours left until the transfer window closes, a critical step has been taken for the goalkeeper transfer at Beşiktaş. The black-and-whites are very close to adding Colombian goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, who plays for Roma, on loan with a purchase option.
AGREEMENT REACHED WITH ROMA
According to information shared by Italian journalist Marco Conterio, negotiations between Beşiktaş and Roma are nearing completion. It was stated that the parties have largely agreed on the transfer of the 27-year-old goalkeeper and that the transactions are expected to be completed shortly.
HE IS COMING TO ISTANBUL
According to journalist Ertan Süzgün, Devis Vasquez is expected to be in Istanbul at 19:30. It is planned for the Colombian goalkeeper to sign with the black-and-white club after his medical checks.
REFERENCE FROM OSCAR CORDOBA
It has been revealed that Oscar Cordoba, one of Beşiktaş's unforgettable Colombian goalkeepers, previously gave a positive reference for Devis Vasquez. Cordoba stated that he recommended Vasquez to Boca Juniors President Juan Roman Riquelme in 2020, emphasizing that he trusted the young goalkeeper's abilities and that he has high-level potential.
HE DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO PLAY AT ROMA
Devis Vasquez, who transferred to Roma for free last summer, has not yet played in an official match for the Italian team. The Colombian goalkeeper has previously played for Milan and Empoli in Serie A.
SERIE A EXPERIENCE IS STRIKING
Vasquez played regularly in Serie A with Empoli during the 2024/25 season, appearing in 32 matches and keeping a clean sheet in six of them. The Beşiktaş management aims for this experience to create significant competition in goal.
