There have been whispers about Tottenham Hotspur trying to upgrade on veteran goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and now Juventus are eyeing the Italian international as a possible summer transfer this year.
Vicario is one of the best pure shot-stoppers in the Premier League, but his saving statistics often overrate him by hiding his biggest weaknesses. Pretty much, Vicario has been poor at everything else. His distribution is lacking, his positioning is one of the worst in the entire Premier League, he makes mistakes at the worst times, and his inability to claim crosses or secure the ball are highly frustrating.
Even Tottenham fans who appreciate Vicario's legendary cat-like reflexes and pure saving quality are becoming increasingly worried about the overall lack of security between the sticks, as Vic has probably costed Spurs more points than he's saved them this year because of the sheer disastrous nature of his inopportune errors.
Juventus want to sign Guglielmo Vicario
Serie A clubs have not lost love for the former Empoli man, who was a regular hero in Italian football by keeping the underdogs alive. Inter Milan have been the No. 1 suitors linked to Vic, as they badly need an upgrade on the declining Yann Sommer, who will almost certainly walk as a free agent this summer transfer window.
But now, according to a report from Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are showing interest in signing Vicario as a replacement for Michele Di Gregorio, who was one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A these last few seasons but has suddenly been poor in the 2025/26 campaign.
The Bianconeri are also looking at Liverpool's elite shot-stopper Alisson Becker, as well as another up-and-coming name in the Italian ranks, Atalanta star Marco Carnessechi (an Arsenal target, too, funnily enough).
Alisson is entirely unrealistic, but Vicario should be pretty easy for Juventus to sign. As long as they submit a competitive offer and Tottenham can land a big fish like James Trafford to replace him, Vic should be expendable.
The key for Tottenham is that they have to find an upgrade both in terms of a goalkeeper being younger with more upside and being better immediatley. In Antonin Kinsky, Spurs do have a highly promising prospect, but he is not someone they feel is ready to start in goal at the top Premier League level (not that Spurs are a top Premier League club right now, of course). So in replacing Vicario, Spurs would need a real star like Trafford.
