Is it too soon for transfer rumors? I say: no! So here’s a “fun” one — according to the Evening Standard, Guglielmo Vicario wants to return to Italy and could be sold this summer, and he’s apparently on Juventus’ summer transfer shortlist.
There’s been a ton of smoke, both from Italian soccer sources (lol) but also elsewhere, that both Tottenham Hotspur and Vicario have decided to part ways this summer, meaning Spurs will be looking for another No. 1 when the window opens up. This particular rumor
says that Juventus’ top keeper target is persuading Liverpool to part ways with 33-year-old keeper Allisson on a cheap transfer deal, but if that doesn’t work they are keeping an eye on Vicario as a backup option. That’s not exactly EXCITING breaking news, but it’s something.
Vicario is, and has been, an excellent shot stopper for Spurs since arriving in 2023, but his distribution from the back and especially his long kicking leaves a lot to be desired. The Standard says Juventus think they could land Vicario on a summer transfer deal for around €25-30 million (£22-26m). That’d represent a profit any way you look at it, as he was signed for €19m and is on a contract that expires in 2028.
I suspect this isn’t the last time we’ll see links between Juventus and Vicario, or other Serie A teams in the coming months. The writing does seem to be somewhat on the wall, but it means Tottenham will have another major hole to fill when the transfer window opens in June. Well, there will be plenty of those.
