Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to leave for Juventus in loan deal

Juventus have agreed a deal with Tottenham for Guglielmo Vicario to join on an initial loan after the Italian side decided against a move for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez.

Vicario is set to leave Spurs having lost his place as Roberto De Zerbi’s No 1 to Antonin Kinsky, with the agreement with Juventus containing an option to make the Italy goalkeeper’s move permanent next year for £8.6m. Martínez had been linked with the Turin club after Villa agreed a deal to sign Parma’s Zion Suzuki for around £30m but Juventus saw a €10m offer rejected over the weekend and decided to switch their attention elsewhere. The Argentina goalkeeper is currently sidelined due to a finger injury.

Vicario moved to north London in 2023 for £17.2m and has made almost 120 appearances since then. With De Zerbi having also brought in Martin Dubravka on a free transfer as cover for Kinsky, the 29-year-old will become the latest player to leave Spurs this summer after Cristian Romero, Djed Spence, Will Lankshear and Yves Bissouma. Pape Matar Sarr is also wanted by Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Senegal midfielder is valued at £30m.

Spurs have already spent more than £200m on six new players in this transfer window and are keen on signing Savinho from Manchester City. The Brazil forward was not part of Enzo Maresca’s squad for the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal in Cardiff and is thought to be open to the move. Spurs have also been heavily linked with a move for Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo as De Zerbi seeks to strengthen his attack.
