Tottenham star Guglielmo Vicario's move to Juventus is set to become official in the coming hours. It has been a busy summer for Spurs, who have been on a transfer rampage, splashing out more than £235million on Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke.
But Spurs have also done some smart free business that has included the signings of Martin Dubravka, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson. Attention is now turning to the attacking positions, with wingers at the top of Roberto De Zerbi's list of priorities.
At this point, it's unclear whether Spurs will sign a new goalkeeper, but with Dubravka presumably signed as a number two, it looks likely Antonin Kinsky will be given the chance to be the number one based on some impressive performances at the back-end of last season.
Coming into the summer, it was always likely that previous starting stopper Vicario would be sold, with the Italian having been keen to return to his home country, and it now looks as though he will get his wish, but initially on a loan deal.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano wrote on X: "Guglielmo Vicario has signed his contract as new Juventus goalkeeper from Spurs. Free loan, €8m buy option clause not mandatory, €2m add-ons."
Spurs will have wanted to bring in some immediate cash for Vicario, but they have settled for a loan deal with the potential of a future sale. Vicario has been a fine servant for Tottenham, although he battled injury issues last season. The Italy international has been with Spurs since 2023, making 93 league appearances so far.

Even amid reports of wanting an exit last season, Vicario clearly cared plenty about Tottenham's fate, seen watching the season finale intensely on the sideline, rather than the bench, and celebrating with De Zerbi as though Spurs had won a title rather than securing Premier League safety.
Vicario has been an important player for Spurs
Former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou regularly described Vicario as 'outstanding'. He said after one game in 2023: "Vic was outstanding today with a couple of brilliant saves. He’s been brilliant from day one for us.”
Spurs legend Les Ferdinand said in 2025: “Not the best at crosses but in terms of shot stopping he’s up there with the best and he showed that tonight. We looked at his percentage of when he plays and you can see why Spurs were desperate to get him back – he makes those important saves.”
