Inter Milan, AS Monaco and Braga are on the trail of left-back Marcelo Vaz (18), who is currently at Varesina in the Italian fourth division.
On the transfer list of Inter, the team coached by the Romanian Cristi Chivu, there is also a promising Guinean player. It is about Marcelo Vazleft back at Varesina, in Serie D, the Italian fourth tier. Vaz is eligible for both the Guinea-Bissau and Senegal national teams.

Vaz impressed in the Italian D and attracted the attention of Inter, AS Monaco and Braga, three teams accustomed to participating in European cups. According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Cristi Chivu's team is the favorite to get his signature for next season.
The likely scenario would be for Inter to loan him at a higher level, in order not to make the direct jump from Serie D to the elite of Italian football.
Until Vaz reaches Inter's first team, it is very likely that Italian Matteo Cocchi, also 18 years old, will be permanently promoted from the U23 team.
Cocchi debuted in the first team in March 2025, under the mandate of Simone Inzaghi, and from November he was brought back into the gear of the senior team by Cristi Chivu, being an unused reserve in 4 stages of the championship and two of the Champions League, but also used for 30 minutes in the 5-1 win against Venezia in the Italian Cup.
