Career
editEarly career
editVasco was born in Aprilia, Lazio, Italy, and began his career in the youth teams of local side Aprilia, before he signed for Serie A giants Roma. He eventually made his way into the Primavera side, making over fifty appearances in the Campionato Nazionale Primavera and UEFA Youth League, and winning the former with Roma in the 2015-16 season. He was also the captain of the Primavera side during this triumph, and scored a vital penalty in the shoot-out against Juventus Primavera at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio-Emilia.[2]
Loans
editVasco made a loan move in 2016, joining Lega Pro side Südtirol on an initial one-year loan. After making few appearances, Roma recalled the young midfielder early, in January 2017, and subsequently sent him out on another loan, this time to Fidelis Andria.[3] He made his debut for the Leoni Azzurri on 22 January 2017, starting in central midfield and playing 58 minutes of a 1-1 draw with Catanzaro.[4]
