On Tuesday, both TuttoSport and Gazzetta dello Sport reported Inter Milan interest in Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario.
The pink daily specifically claimed that the Italian side have already spoken to the goalkeeper’s agent. They later went on to say fan pressure was making Vicario look towards the exit.
Today’s Gazzetta goes deeper into the 29-year-old’s situation at Tottenham.
According to the report, Vicario is tired of ‘ yet another psycho-dramatic season’ at Spurs. He now has a desire to return to Serie A, where he impressed with Empoli before joining the London club.
Gazzetta state the Tottenham player has let his agents know ‘this could be his last agonising season’ in the Premier League.
To be clear, the Italian newspaper state: ‘Vicario is tired of experiencing yet another psycho-dramatic season and has let his representatives know that this could be his last agonising season in the Premier League. The yearning for home prevails, the desire to return to Serie A for good.’
At the same time, it’s claimed Thomas Frank’s side are already looking around for replacements.
Aston Villa’s Dibu Martinez is named as the favourite target. The Argentine was close to joining Manchester United in the summer, and now it’s claimed Tottenham could be his next destination.
Whilst Martinez links may well be guesswork, the Vicario claims are all over Italy. There’s nearly always a belief Italians in the Premier League are never truly happy and desire a return home.
The current Tottenham situation has encouraged that further.
