Tottenham want their 29yo’s exit resolved quickly, but Juventus must agree to a permanent deal as loans are ruled out.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for a significant shake-up in their goalkeeping department ahead of the new season, with Guglielmo Vicario expected to leave the club this summer. The North London club is eager to resolve the Italian goalkeeper’s future quickly, but they have established a strict stance regarding the structure of his exit.
According to a report from Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, shared by Chris Cowlin on X, Tottenham want Vicario’s departure to be completed as soon as possible.
However, the Premier League club has completely ruled out the possibility of allowing the 29-year-old shot-stopper to leave on a temporary loan deal. Instead, Spurs are demanding a permanent transfer, meaning Serie A giants Juventus will need to meet the required asking price if they want to bring Vicario to Turin.
The hardline stance on Vicario’s departure perfectly aligns with the strict outgoing policy instituted by technical director Johan Lange and the club hierarchy. With head coach Roberto De Zerbi actively reshaping the senior squad following a wave of incoming transfers, the board is refusing to let players leave on cut-price terms or standard loan agreements that defer financial returns.
Vicario, who arrived in North London from Empoli to take over the number-one shirt, now looks set for a swift return to his homeland if Juventus formalize their interest. By demanding a clean, permanent break, Tottenham intend to immediately recoup significant capital to help balance their summer books and pave the way for a replacement between the sticks.
Juventus Face Clear Path to Negotiate for Guglielmo Vicario
With a temporary loan package officially off the table, the ball rests entirely in Juventus’s court to trigger a formal agreement. The Italian side has identified Vicario as a high-caliber addition to their squad, but they must now restructure their approach to meet Tottenham’s firm, permanent valuation.

Spurs are keen to move the process along swiftly to avoid an extended transfer saga that could disrupt their pre-season preparations. If Juventus present a financial package that matches the board’s expectations, the transfer is expected to move forward rapidly, allowing Tottenham to finalize another major piece of their intensive squad reshape.
