Juventus Nears Loan Deal for Tottenham Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario

Tottenham's willingness to loan Vicario with a buy option gives Juventus a low‑cash route to strengthen goal and preserve funds for a planned striker signing.

Overview

  • In early July Tottenham signalled it will consider a loan of Guglielmo Vicario with a right of redemption, a move that lowers the roughly €20m upfront price that had blocked a permanent transfer.
  • Vicario is appealing to Juventus because he is Italian, under 30, known to coach Luciano Spalletti from the national team, and reportedly ready to leave English football.
  • Juventus is treating the potential loan as a practical, cost‑efficient solution while it keeps negotiating to sign Kolo Muani, a forward the club values at about €35–40m.
  • Despite transfer speculation and public friction over the goalkeeper search, Michele Di Gregorio remains Juventus’s current No. 1 and is expected to join the club at the mid‑July pre‑season reassembly.
  • The club continues to scout other goalkeeper options including higher‑profile names, but the loan‑with‑option structure fits Juventus’s preference for lower immediate cash outlay and preserved budget flexibility for other signings.
