Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario has played only four games for Italy in his career so far.
While the goalkeeper has been key for Spurs since arriving in 2023, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been the Azzurri’s first-choice.
This has stopped Vicario from getting a single Italy minute so far in 2025. His last appearance for Italy came in November 2024 against France.
One year on, the 29-year-old is set to make his fifth appearance for Italy. Azzurri manager Rino Gattuso confirmed on Wednesday that the Tottenham player will start against Moldova.
Corriere dello Sport have now hyped up the ex-Empoli goalkeeper.
They say ‘the moment has arrived’ for Vicario to prove himself for Italy.
They place particular emphasis on his performance against AS Monaco for Tottenham. That convinced Gattusso about giving Vicario against a chance during the ongoing international break.
The newspaper report the Spurs star has a good relationship with Donnarumma. Despite the competition between the two, there is quite a bit of warmth there.
Despite firmly being the national team’s second-choice, the Tottenham player is increasingly becoming a leader in the squad. Going forward, this will help his club and country.
