Well, the message one always sends a few hours before the end of the year about dreams and desires waiting to be fulfilled came true for Vasquez. Overnight, the big rumor spread on the first day of January and 2023 that they put the Coffey player on Milan’s radar.
While not official, Tevis Vázquez has already signed for one of the world’s most historic clubs in Milan, opening the doors to the Colombian and the Italian league Serie A, which has always shown a taste for the South American. And for coffee talent. An amazing legion that grows year by year in Italy.
Also, you might be wondering who is Davis Estevan Vasquez Lach? On May 12, 1998, a man was born in Barranquilla who sooner or later was going to fulfill any player’s dream: leave his country, why not, think about reaching one of the best clubs and leagues in the world. In addition, the 24-year-old goalkeeper’s name appears in the roster of the team representing the country, and due to his activities and the generational change that should occur in the Colombian national team.
But how did the Davis Vasquez story begin? The Barranquilla-born goalkeeper began his playing career at Courtulua, but he has been a bit of a fixture throughout the Valle del Gaca. Looking for better options, he jumped to Patriotas de Boyaca, where he was from 2016 to 2018. The owner of his pass, they gave it to La Equidad, and he spent a few months with the capital team, where he played in three commitments. Sub-division -20 with no chance of promotion to the senior team. He added 270 minutes as a starter in these clashes, training with the Copa Conmebol Libertadores in the youth division.
Tevis Vázquez, seeing his lack of opportunities in his country, went abroad to fulfill his big dream of continuing his sporting career, where the desire to play for Guarani Club of Paraguay appeared. 2020 is a key year for Vasquez to join a team that finally gives him ownership, but it won’t be easy either. He spent a year or so trying to win Will, a position for only one man and with a lot of competition, and finally, after a year, he was able to establish himself as Will’s guard.
He fulfilled his desire to make his professional debut, unable to do so where he saved at Cortelua, Patriotas or La Equidad, but in under-20 tournaments. In Guaraní, he managed to score in February 2021 against Olimpia in one of the most vibrant games in the Paraguayan league. In the last match of the season, he saved the maximum penalty against Sportivo Luqueno.
After the departure of Casper Servio on loan to Rosario Central, Guarani appointed Tevis Vazquez as his undisputed goalkeeper for the 2022 season. Since his debut with Paraguay in 2021, he has made 31 appearances, scoring 44 goals and keeping three clean sheets.

She posted a message on her Instagram account saying, “You’ll see how you start the year by fulfilling that dream you’ve been waiting for so long.” While unsigned, Vázquez is already in Milan and hopes to train soon under the technical guidance of Stefano Pioli.
His arrival is not for loan and in line with AC Milan’s policies, he signs forwards. He will have to fight for the position with Cipriani Tatarusanu and goalkeeper Marco Sportiello, who awaits a new hire in the coming days. Mike Mignon, the French goalkeeper, is the undisputed starter and will miss parts of the season due to a serious injury. Finally, to cap off a great start to the year, his stay in Paraguay has been overseen by Nestor Lorenzo, who is taking him into account for the Colombian national team’s next steps.
