The Tottenham goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus.
Guglielmo Vicario has found his long-term future at Tottenham Hotspur shrouded in uncertainty for several months after his displays came under increasing scrutiny last season.
After recovering from hernia surgery in the last few games of the 2025/26 campaign, Roberto De Zerbi decided to stick with Antonin Kinsky in goal. Kinsky repaid the faith by delivering strong performances to help Spurs stay in the top flight, elevating his position as the club’s new No.1 in the process. And with Martin Dubravka added to the goalkeeping ranks earlier this summer, the North Londoners are open to sanctioning Guglielmo Vicario’s departure.
Juventus have been interested in signing Vicario in the last couple of months, as Luciano Spalletti searches for a new No.1. But the Tottenham shot-stopper isn’t the only one on the club’s shortlist. Parma’s Zion Suzuki has also been on Juventus’ radar.

The Bianconeri are now expected to miss out on Zion Suzuki, who is on his way to Paris Saint-Germain. The Japanese international is expected to sign for the European champions and then stay with them in Paris, prompting them to look around again. Following the Super Cup, there has been no further contact between the Juventus management and PSG
Now, according to Sky Sport journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus are forced to turn back to Vicario. The Old Lady is now trying to see if they can get the Italian international on a loan-to-buy deal, rather than an outright purchase. They are attempting to test Spurs’ resolve by proposing an initial temporary move to bring the 29-year-old back to his homeland.
Vicario was lauded by legendary Gianluigi Buffon for his pedigree and character earlier this month, while former England boss Fabio Capello has backed Juventus to go for the Tottenham goalkeeper over Suzuki. Indeed, the 29-year-old’s international pedigree, Serie A experience and European success with Spurs are clear pointers of his readiness to succeed at a big club like Juventus.
From Tottenham’s perspective, the Italian glovesman is clearly out of De Zerbi’s project, and there is no reason for us to keep him. As a result, they should accept a loan with a buy option and somehow free up his wages. Now that Suzuki is heading to PSG, we might soon see Juve make a proposal for Vicario.
