Inter Milan are emerging as frontrunners to sign Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario this summer, according to reports in Italy.
The Serie A side are targeting a move for a new shot-stopper after the season and have identified the Italian as their preferred option, reportedly placing him in 'pole position' to replace Swiss international Yann Sommer.
Vicario has no shortage of suitors in Italy and beyond despite a disappointing campaign at Hotspur Way, with Tottenham in serious danger of relegation after failing to win their last 13 league games.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who joined Tottenham from Serie A side Empoli in the summer of 2023, is under contract until June 2028.
Inter Milan Keen on Signing Vicario
According to CalcioMercato, Inter have been tracking Vicario for some time and are now ready to accelerate their interest to secure his signature ahead of the summer.
Spurs are believed to value the Italian at around €15-20m, a figure well within Inter’s financial reach, and are not expected to stand in his way if an offer arrives.
Vicario underwent hernia surgery ahead of the international break, and it remains uncertain whether the 29-year-old will be available for Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge, a trip to Sunderland next Sunday.
The 'exceptional' Italian goalkeeper’s potential absence could open the door for Antonin Kinsky to return following his dismal display in the 5-2 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid last month.
Vicario’s displays have also been heavily scrutinised this season, with the Italian conceding 50 goals and keeping seven clean sheets in 31 league appearances.
Tottenham sit 17th in the Premier League standings with seven games remaining, one point above the relegation zone.
Vuskovic Drops Hint Over Tottenham Return
Luka Vuskovic’s future at Tottenham has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks following the Croatian’s promising displays on loan at Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The 19-year-old has now issued an update on his future, suggesting he is likely to return to Tottenham next season despite recent links with a summer exit.
Vuskovic has been instrumental in Hamburg’s survival push this season, scoring five goals in 25 top-flight appearances, all of which were starts.
As a result, the likes of Liverpool and Bayern Munich have been linked with interest in the Croatian, who is under contract with Spurs until the summer of 2030.
