Juventus have looked at several goalkeepers this summer, but they appear to have settled on Guglielmo Vicario as their next number one.
The Bianconeri were unable to convince Liverpool to sell Alisson Becker and are unwilling to meet Aston Villa’s asking price for Emiliano Martinez this summer.
Juventus turn their attention to Vicario
Those difficulties have made it harder for Juventus to sign either Premier League goalkeeper, but they remain determined to bring in a new goalkeeper from that competition and have been linked with a move for Vicario this summer.
A transfer would not be straightforward, but Tottenham have now opened the door for him to move to Turin, provided the clubs can reach an agreement over the deal.
Juventus remain in discussions, and according to Sport Mediaset, Vicario is the goalkeeper expected to move to the Allianz Stadium this summer and become their new number one.
Vicario viewed as the right solution for Juventus
Michele Di Gregorio has lost the trust of Luciano Spalletti, and he understands that the manager is not fully convinced about confirming him as the club’s leading goalkeeper at this stage.
Vicario is highly talented and experienced, and his spell at Spurs has prepared him to compete at the highest level. Juventus remain convinced that if they complete his signing, he will prove to be a valuable addition to the squad.
The goalkeeper’s performances in England have strengthened his reputation, and the Bianconeri believe he has the qualities required to handle the pressure of being their first-choice goalkeeper.
While negotiations still need to be completed, Juventus appear confident that Vicario can become the long-term solution they have been searching for.
The club’s pursuit of a new number one has involved several options, but Vicario now seems to have emerged as their preferred target as they look to strengthen a key position before the new season.
