Juventus will reportedly compete with Inter Milan in the race to sign 29-year-old Italian international Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Guglielmo Vicario is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A giants are eager to bolster their first-team squad by signing a shot-stopper in the summer transfer window. So, the 29-year-old Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper has emerged as a target for the Bianconeri.
Apart from Juventus, Inter Milan will also attempt to secure Vicario’s services in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the latest report has boosted the two Serie A clubs’ prospects, as even though the Tottenham goalkeeper is happy at the North London club, he would “gladly return to Italy” in the coming months.
How has Guglielmo Vicario fared at Tottenham?
Guglielmo Vicario has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Tottenham Hotspur from FC Empoli in a deal worth €20 million in July 2023. While the 29-year-old has produced many game-changing performances over the last two and a half years, he has also been inconsistent during his spell with the North London outfit.
The Italian international has made over 100 appearances for Tottenham thus far, keeping 29 clean sheets and conceding 153 goals. However, Vicario’s long-term future at the North London club is uncertain heading into the summer transfer window, and the player’s stock is high. Juventus and Inter Milan are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Serie A return on the cards?
Inter Milan’s interest in Guglielmo Vicario is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a goalkeeper, as Yann Sommer is in the twilight of his career. Additionally, the Swiss international may leave the title hopefuls after the 2025/26 season ends, as he will enter the final six months of his contract in January. So, Vicario has emerged as a viable target for Inter Milan.
As for Juventus, it is unclear if Michele Di Gregorio will continue at the Allianz Stadium beyond the 2025/26 season. So, the Italian heavyweights are combing the market for a goalkeeper, with Vicario being an option worth considering. The latest development has boosted the prospects of the two Serie A clubs.
While Vicario is happy at the North London club, he would “gladly return to Italy” in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Tottenham will demand around €25 million to part ways with the 29-year-old Italian international. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the player.
