Juventus join another Serie A giant in race to sign Tottenham star for £21.7m
Juventus have joined Inter Milan the race for a senior Tottenham Hotspur star, who has come in for plenty of criticism this season.
Reports indicate that Spurs are eyeing an ambitious squad rebuild in the summer window, and that is arguably a necessity on the back of two poor domestic seasons.
Part of that rebuild may involve upgrading between the sticks as well, with Guglielmo Vicario coming in for plenty of criticism over the course of the season.
It has been widely reported over recent months that Inter Milan are plotting a summer move for the Tottenham number one, and it has now emerged that another Italian club have joined the race.
Juventus set sights on Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario
According to a report in Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Juventus have now joined the race for the Italy international, amidst doubts over Michele Di Gregorio’s future in Turin.
The report says that Vicario was on the Bianconeri’s wishlist in the past, and his name has now ‘resurfaced’ on their shortlist.
Juventus would jump at the chance to sign the former Empoli man if they are given a chance to do so in the summer.
The outlet also adds that Inter remain in the race, with Vicario’s name being ‘more than just an idea’ for the Nerazzurri as they look for a new number one.
Vicario is happy at Spurs despite poor form
Interestingly, Gazzetta say that the 29-year-old is ‘happy at Tottenham’ and is enjoying his life in London at the moment.
At the same time, they also say that Vicario would ‘jump at the chance’ to return to Italy in the summer if a decent opportunity opened up.
The problem for Juve and Inter is that Tottenham Hotspur are expected to demand €25m (£21.7m) for the goalkeeper, which may be too high for the two Serie A giants.
