UDINE, ITALY – AUGUST 13, 2025:
Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham Hotspur looks on
during the UEFA Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain v Tottenham Hotspur at Stadio Friuli.
Juventus appear to be going through differing waves of delusion regarding signing a new goalkeeper, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool featuring heavily recently.
Ideally, as explained by Corriere della Sera, they’d like to sign Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi. However, the 25-year-old is priced at €50m.
That saw them turn their attention to Tottenham and 29-year-old Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian goalkeeper has had a difficult season with Spurs and doesn’t appear entirely happy.
In Italy, the media never really believe an Italian footballer is content away from his home country. On this occasion they’ve likely got a point and have been drumming that home repeatedly.
The problem is Tottenham are thought to want €30m. Initially, in Italy it was believed €20-25m could do it, but reality has pushed that higher. Sending €30m to Spurs is considered ‘for the moon’, an expression of how unlikely it is.
Why Liverpool player has been turned to
Alisson

Juventus don’t fancy paying €30m so attention has turned to Liverpool, and this is where there appears to be a little delusion again.
Alisson is 33-years-of-age and effectively has a contract lasting until 2027.
The Juve assessment is that he ‘wouldn’t cost a fortune’. Presumably that means he’d cost much, much less than that €30m figure Tottenham want for Vicario.
Should Liverpool even decide to sell, and Arne Slot may well battle that decision given the Brazilian is first choice, then they’re obviously going to try and maximise income.
Juventus getting Alisson for something below €20m may not be realistic.
Corriere della Sera explain there’s confidence because Liverpool already have his replacement in Giorgi Mamardashvili. However, the Georgian hasn’t convinced Slot that he should start, so there’s still a level of need for Alisson.
