On pole to sign Tottenham player keen on transfer – ‘Hunt is on’ for €25-30m deal
by Naveen Ullal · Sport WitnessGuglielmo Vicario of Tottenham Hotspur looks on
during the UEFA Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain v Tottenham Hotspur at Stadio Friuli.
Guglielmo Vicario has been the No.1 for Tottenham Hotspur since joining them from Empoli in 2023.
Inter Milan have identified the goalkeeper as a target for the summer. Over the past few weeks, Sport Witness have relayed several sources from Italy on the Serie A side’s interest.
Earlier this month, we relayed news that he’s happy at Tottenham but still wants to leave after this season.
Sport Witness covered recent claims from Italy of Inter Milan’s desire to sign the 29-year-old on a loan deal with an option or conditional obligation to buy. However, this doesn’t please Igor Tudor’s side.
The same report also mentioned Juventus joining the race to take the stopper away from Tottenham.
Why Juve are keen on Tottenham player
A fresh report from Gazzetta dello Sport picks up on that and covers the latest on the Old Lady’s interest in Vicario.
Michele Di Gregorio is the first-choice goalkeeper for Juve manager Luciano Spalletti and hasn’t been convincing recently.
The newspaper states Di Gregorio’s ‘string of errors’ against Lazio, the Nerazzurri and Como in the last two weeks have convinced Juventus to look for a new stopper. Therefore, the ‘hunt for a new number one is on at Juventus’.
Vicario is a priority target for Juventus
AC Milan star Mike Maignan was initially considered as his contract expires in June. Juve
have several names on their list and the Spurs man ‘is in pole position’. In other words, he is their priority target.
Gazzetta claim the ‘main road leads to London’ and specifically Tottenham because of the Italy international.
He will have two years left on his contract and the newspaper believes Spurs won’t be able to demand more than €25-30m. That may be wishful thinking from Juve via Gazzetta. Vicario earns €4.5m per year at Spurs.
Both the fee and the salary would fit the Turin club, who will have to overcome tough competition from Inter Milan.
If Juventus fail to sign Vicario, Gazzetta report they could turn their attention towards Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi.
