The Tottenham goalkeeper wants to return to Italy amid Juventus interest. Tottenham Hotspur have recruited well across other areas of the pitch, but in attack, they haven’t been able to bring in new faces. It won’t be wrong to say that the Lilywhites’ search for attacking reinforcements has been frustrating. Manchester City’s Savinho and Cody Gakpo of Liverpool appear to be Roberto De Zerbi’s primary attacking targets. Spurs have less than three weeks to bring Savinho and Gakpo in to aid De Zerbi’s squad rebuild. At the same time, the club bosses also have the responsibility of moving on the players surplus to the head coach’s requirements. Guglielmo Vicario has not managed to convince the Tottenham chiefs and the fans that he can become the club’s long-term goalkeeper. Juventus have been keen on signing the Italian goalkeeper for well over a month now. Luciano Spalletti has reportedly held talks with the 29-year-old, who wants to end his three-year stay in England and return to his homeland. Fabio Capello backs Juventus to sign Guglielmo Vicario over Zion Suzuki Juventus are in search of a new No.1 following Michele Di Gregorio’s struggles last season. Alongside Guglielmo Vicario, Parma’s Zion Suzuki is also on the Turin giants’ shortlist. However, Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly reached a €35m agreement with Parma for the signing of Zion Suzuki. However, the French champions are aiming to loan him out. Juventus are claimed to be one of the landing spots for the Japanese international, although they’re not the only possibility. Now, Fabio Capello has urged his former club Juventus to sign Vicario over Suzuki, citing the former’s experience of performing at a big club like Tottenham in London. “Juve still has a big problem and that is the goalkeeper,” Fabio Capello wrote in his column for newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I say that with all due respect to Michele Di Gregorio, but his situation seems irreversible to me. “Many names have been mentioned and from what I’ve seen, the Old Lady might prefer a ‘buffer’ option, postponing the spending until next summer. So, if a no.1 comes in on loan, I have no doubts about who to bet on: Vicario at Tottenham. “The reason is simple. Compared to Suzuki, the Italian has already shown that he performs well at big clubs, like he has done in London.” Tottenham officials will be hoping to move on Vicario Vicario is an established goalkeeper compared to Suzuki, someone who has got the experience of playing in Serie A and for Tottenham in the Premier League. Undoubtedly, Suzuki had a strong season with Parma in Serie A and further enhanced his reputation with Japan at the 2026 World Cup, but he represents a gamble for Juventus. Playing for Parma week in, week out and standing between the sticks for Juventus cannot be compared, and after the goalkeeping conundrum of last term, Spalletti should choose an experienced head. This makes Vicario an ideal candidate. With no future in N17, Tottenham will be hoping the Bianconeri accelerate their pursuit of Vicario and sign him.
