Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has reached a full agreement to leave the club and join Inter Milan this summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The north London club are on the brink of relegation from the Premier League, as they sit 18th in the table, two points adrift of safety, with just four games remaining of the campaign, despite winning their first game under Roberto De Zerbi this past weekend.
But regardless of what division the club are playing in next season, there are expected to be major changes to the squad during the summer window, and the goalkeeper department looks certain to be affected.
Vicario Reaches Full Agreement to Leave Spurs
Vicario, who has been described as 'exceptional', has been the number one goalkeeper at the club since joining back in 2023, but has come under criticism for some of his performances this season.
The Italian now looks set to return to his homeland as a result of Spurs' precarious league position, and it's understood that he has now reached a full agreement with Serie A champions-to-be Inter Milan about joining them this summer.
Yann Sommer will leave the San Siro this summer, with his contract set to expire and no talks held over an extension, and the 29-year-old Tottenham man is set to be his replacement, with Inter having held a long-term interest in his services.
Inter now must reach an agreement with Tottenham for his transfer, but that isn't expected to be too problematic with all parties believing that an exit makes sense, although the price will likely be decided by what division Spurs are playing in next season.
Vicario Replacement Must Be Ready-Made
Vicario has certainly got his flaws, but he has also got plenty of things going in his favour, which makes sense when you consider that top clubs are keeping a close eye on him.
His time in north London has come to a natural end it seems, but if Tottenham are prepared to let him leave then they also need to be ready to replace him immediately, and not gamble with the position.
Antonin Kinsky seems likely to move on too, but the club will need to bring an experience stopper in who can immediately calm the nerves of the defenders around him and provide security between the posts. Until that man is found, Vicario shouldn't be going anywhere.
