Juventus have received a boost in their efforts to sign Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham this summer after the goalkeeper was left out of the squad travelling for the club’s pre-season tour, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Since the conclusion of last season, Vicario has been expected to leave Tottenham, and the goalkeeper is believed to favour a return to Serie A, where he previously established himself as a reliable performer. Juventus are among the clubs monitoring his situation as they look to strengthen their options between the posts.
Juventus monitor Vicario situation
The Bianconeri view Vicario as one of the leading goalkeepers they could sign this summer if they fail to complete a move for Emiliano Martinez. Aston Villa have made negotiations difficult for Juventus, forcing the Italian club to consider alternative options in their search for a new goalkeeper.
Vicario has already proven his ability in Serie A, where his performances earned him a move to the Premier League. His experience in Italy and his successful period with Tottenham have made him an attractive option for Juventus as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Juventus assess goalkeeper options
The goalkeeper would reportedly welcome the opportunity to join Juventus and continue his career at the Allianz Stadium. The Bianconeri are working to bring him to the club during this transfer window, with Tottenham’s decision to exclude him from their travelling squad viewed as a significant indication of their plans.
Juventus could potentially explore an initial loan deal for Vicario, although their primary target remains Martinez. The Bianconeri are expected to continue pursuing the Argentine goalkeeper and would only turn fully towards Vicario if it becomes clear that they cannot secure the World Cup winner’s signature.
The situation leaves Juventus with different possibilities as they attempt to resolve their goalkeeping plans before the new campaign begins.
