Guglielmo Vicario has emerged as a transfer target for Juventus, with Tottenham reportedly open to his departure provided the Bianconeri pursue a permanent deal during the current transfer window.
The goalkeeper is also understood to be interested in returning to Serie A after a difficult season at Spurs. A move back to Italy could materialise this summer, although Juventus may now face increased competition for his signature.
According to Calciomercato, Napoli have also entered the race for Vicario and are considering a swap deal that could significantly affect Juventus’ chances of completing a transfer.
Napoli Consider Swap Proposal
Juventus view Vicario as an ideal alternative to Emi Martinez after Aston Villa reportedly refused to sell the goalkeeper to the Bianconeri. As a result, Juve believe a deal for the Tottenham goalkeeper could prove more achievable.
However, Napoli have developed their own plan to secure Vicario’s services. The club are reportedly prepared to sell Vanja Milinković Savić and see the Tottenham goalkeeper as a suitable replacement between the posts for the new season.
Juventus Face Fresh Competition
The proposed arrangement would involve Napoli sending Vanja Milinković Savić to Tottenham, with Vicario moving in the opposite direction. The report suggests that Spurs are receptive to the idea, raising the possibility that both clubs could formalise the swap agreement in the coming weeks.
Should the deal progress, Juventus could miss out on signing one of their preferred goalkeeping targets. Napoli’s proposal may offer Tottenham an alternative solution that benefits both clubs while allowing Vicario to return to Serie A.
Juventus are also working on several transfer negotiations during the current window, which could influence how aggressively they pursue a move for Vicario. With multiple deals under consideration, the club may decide not to prioritise the Tottenham goalkeeper at this stage, leaving Napoli in a stronger position if discussions over the proposed swap continue to advance.
