Tottenham Hotspur are going to have to sell a bunch of high profile players this summer transfer window, because even if they manage to get out of the relegation zone by the time Matchday 38 ends, Spurs are not going to be in European football next season and have a sea of overpaid and overrated players who need to come off the books.
Guglielmo Vicario is now an interesting case, though. Not but a few weeks ago, Vicario's sale was an obvious conclusion, and he is still most likely going to go with expected Serie A champions Inter Milan extremely interested in bringing the Italian international back to Calcio as their Yann Sommer replacement.
But while Vicario has been horrible this season for Tottenham - and Antonin Kinsky showed some real quality last weekend in his rebound performance from that Atletico Madrid debacle - he will argue that this can be chalked up to him playing through a hernia. Now that he's had a surgery, Roberto De Zerbi and Spurs will be curious to see how the former Empoli star performs.
Guglielmo Vicario would still be a profit sale
As it stands right now, though, Guglielmo Vicario is very much on the chopping block. According to a new report from Matt Barlow of the Daily Mail, the expected transfer fee Tottenham Hotspur will get in return for the Italian shot stopper is about 20 million pounds. Inter Milan are confident in signing Vicario this summer, per Barlow, and believe that is what they will be able to sign him for.
Tottenham actually paid a couple of million pounds less than that for Vicario, and given how his stock has fallen since his Empoli days when clubs as big as Bayern Munich were scouting him, they should be happy to sell him for a bit of a profit.
But the thing is, money is going to be tight for Tottenham without European football. Obviously if they go down to the EFL Championship, money will be even tighter, but that would be a moot point since James Trafford surely wouldn't want to join a Spurs side in the second division. The thing is, if Spurs want Trafford, selling Vicario for about half of what Trafford would cost is a price differential Spurs may not want to go for with so many other issues, especially expensive attacking ones, in the squad. So if Spurs can get closer to 30 million pounds, that will be the goal.
