Vicario set to join Juventus
Several sources, including The Athletic, Fabrizio Romano and Tuttosport, claim that Spurs and Juventus have reached an agreement today.
According to Romano, Vicario will land in Turin later today to undergo medical examinations with the Old Lady.
According to Tuttosport, it’s a loan move with an option to buy for a transfer package worth €10.5m.
Juventus had resumed talks with Aston Villa over Emiliano Martinez last week, but eventually walked away after learning that the Premier League side would not lower their €15m asking price.
Juventus were also concerned about Martinez’s fitness, as the Argentina international is dealing with a hand injury that could sideline him for several months.
Aston Villa are still expected to sign Sion Suzuki from Parma, while Juventus will be waiting for offers for Michele Di Gregorio.
According to Romano, the Juventus goalkeeper has attracted interest from Olympique Marseille and other European clubs.
