An intriguing exchange idea has emerged, suggesting Napoli could offer Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to Tottenham for Guglielmo Vicario, upsetting Juventus, Hull City and Leeds United.
There seem to be a lot of goalkeepers ready for transfers this summer and it is prompting a merry-go-round on the market.
Milinkovic-Savic and Vicario both on the move
Napoli are ready to hand the gloves to Alex Meret, which means Milinkovic-Savic is for sale to be replaced by someone more willing to be an understudy.
He had been offered to Hull City and Leeds United, but seems unenthused about either of those options.
The Corriere dello Sport suggests Tottenham Hotspur would be more at the Serbian giant’s level, and they are ready to sell Vicario.
The former Empoli shot-stopper is eager for a return to Italy, and has been among the candidates linked with a move to Juventus.
However, Napoli would also be a promising alternative for him, where he could hope to push Meret for playing time.
Above all, the Partenopei are in a situation where they must sell before signing anyone else due to financial fair play constraints, so an exchange between Milinkovic-Savic and Vicario would make economic as well as sporting sense.
