Genoa are reportedly monitoring teenage left-back Marcelo Vaz amid speculation the Varesina defender could move from Serie D to Serie A this summer.
The 18-year-old, who holds both Guinea-Bissau and Senegal nationality, is being linked with a switch from Varesina to the Ligurian club, with the latest transfer listings on 20 May 2026 placing him on Genoa’s radar. The reported probability of the move is listed as “?”, underlining that talks remain at a very early and uncertain stage.
Vaz, born on 31 July 2007 in Canchungo and standing at 1.83m, is a left-footed defender whose main position is left-back. He currently wears the number 3 shirt for Varesina, who play in Italy’s Serie D – Girone B. His market value is estimated at €100k, a modest figure by Serie A standards and one that would make him a relatively low-cost prospect if Genoa decide to formalise their interest.
There is currently no publicly listed contract expiry date for Vaz at Varesina, fuelling suggestions that he could become a free agent or be available for a cut-price fee if an agreement cannot be reached with his current club.
In recent Serie D action for Varesina this season, Vaz featured at left-back in a tightly contested match against league opposition (data does not specify opponent, date or scoreline), with his performance contributing to his growing reputation as a promising defensive option. Detailed statistics from that game are not available in the provided data.
Vaz has been registered with Varesina Calcio at senior level and has yet to make a major move higher up the Italian pyramid. A transfer to Genoa, if completed, would represent a rapid elevation from the fourth tier to the top flight and could be a pivotal step in shaping his professional career and long-term potential in Italian football.
