Juventus and Napoli Target Tottenham Keeper Guglielmo Vicario After Inter Signs Provedel
His availability offers Juventus a lower-cost alternative to Emiliano Martinez or a conditional option for Napoli if it sells a goalkeeper.
Overview
- Reports on June 18 say Inter ended its pursuit after signing Lazio’s Ivan Provedel and promoting Josep Martinez, clearing the way for other Serie A clubs to track Vicario.
- Juventus still prioritizes Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez but views Vicario as a realistic, cheaper fallback if a Martinez deal proves unaffordable.
- Napoli is monitoring Vicario but will only open formal talks if it offloads either Vanja Milinković-Savić or Alex Meret this summer.
- Vicario is 29, keen to return to Italy and under contract with Tottenham until 2028, which makes summer 2026 the most likely window for Spurs to consider a sale.
- La Gazzetta and other outlets point to low wages, rising market pressure on top keepers and existing ties between Juve sporting director Marco Ottolini and Vicario’s agent as factors that could speed a transfer.
