On Tuesday, Gazzetta dello Sport reported Guglielmo Vicario has decided to leave Tottenham Hotspur. They also reported his agent will reconnect with Inter Milan, who had previously shown interest in the goalkeeper.
Later that day, Tuttosport backed up the Serie A side’s interest in the 29-year-old. They explained he’s an ‘old obsession’ of their chairman, Giuseppe Marotta.
A fresh report from Gazzetta dello Sport explains why the Italy international is thinking about leaving Tottenham for Inter.
He’s been the No.1 for Spurs since joining them from Empoli in June 2023. The stopper was a key part of the Tottenham squad that won the Europa League last season. Vicario became a fan favourite at the north London club.
The Italian has had mixed performances this season, keeping seven clean sheets and conceding 27 goals from 20 matches.
Last weekend, Vicario made an error in Tottenham’s 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. He eventually took full responsibility for his mistake, which wasn’t his first of this season.
Vicario was booed by the Tottenham supporters and Thomas Frank has publicly come out to defend him.
Gazzetta state: ‘Those jeers, however, risk becoming the last straw in a cup that has gradually filled up for the national team goalkeeper, one that is now making him seriously consider whether his future is better away from London, perhaps in Serie A and perhaps at Inter, who are starting to wink at him.’
His contract with the Premier League side is until 2028. Frank and Tottenham are keen on retaining Vicario.
However, the newspaper adds: ‘…in the eyes of Tottenham fans, Vicario is no longer a pillar. He has three years left on his contract with Tottenham, but it’s impossible not to wonder whether Spurs is still the best place for him, for his development. Especially if, from being an idol, you suddenly find yourself booed by your own fans.’
