Tottenham Rejects Juventus Loan Offer for Vicario
The refusal pushes Juventus to pursue Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez as the club seeks to close a fee gap and confirm his fitness.
Overview
- Tottenham refused Juventus’s proposed loan for Guglielmo Vicario after Juventus sought a loan without an obligation to buy, leaving that transfer route stalled.
- Vicario remains a possible target only if Tottenham soften their stance and agree to Juventus’s preferred loan terms.
- Juventus have refocused on Emiliano Martínez and are reported to have offered €7 million plus €3 million in bonuses while Aston Villa are asking about €10 million.
- Clubs are weighing a fitness caution on Martínez after he played through a finger problem at the World Cup that may require surgery.
- Juventus sporting directors Giovanni Carnevali and Cristiano Massara are working under tight financial limits and aim to resolve their goalkeeper signing within roughly 48 hours, with reporting described as developing and unconfirmed by the clubs.
