According to a report by Italian outlet L’Interista, Tottenham Hotspur shot-stopper Guglielmo Vicario is the subject of interest from Inter Milan. The Serie A table-toppers are keen on bolstering their first-team squad by signing a goalkeeper ahead of the 2026/27 season as they prepare a succession plan for Yann Sommer.
The latest report has revealed that the Italian giants have “reached a basic agreement” with the 1996-born goalkeeper for a four-year contract worth €3 million per season. Additionally, Inter Milan will hope to seal a summer deal for €18-20 million, aiming to convince Tottenham with the impending bid.
Guglielmo Vicario has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Tottenham Hotspur from FC Empoli in a deal worth €20 million in July 2023. While the 29-year-old has been solid for most of the last three seasons, he has also been highly error-prone during his spell with the North London outfit, with the issues compounding in the ongoing campaign and contributing to the team’s downfall.
The Italian international has made over 100 appearances for Tottenham thus far, keeping 29 clean sheets and conceding 170 goals. Meanwhile, Vicario’s long-term future at the North London club is uncertain, with widespread reports suggesting he wants to call time on his stint at the North London club. Inter Milan will hope to hand the player an escape route this summer.
Inter Milan’s interest in Guglielmo Vicario is understandable. The Serie A giants are combing the market for a goalkeeper, as Yann Sommer is in the twilight of his career. Additionally, the Swiss international may leave the Nerazzurri after the 2025/26 season ends, as he has entered the final six months of his contract.
With Josep Martinez yet to make a case for becoming the next first-choice goalkeeper for Inter Milan, the Serie A club must sign a top-class stopper in the coming months. Vicario has thus emerged as a viable target, and the agreement in principle for a €3 million-a-season contract between the two parties may be a signal that a summer deal is close.
However, recent reports have claimed that Inter Milan will not meet Tottenham’s asking price. So, with the Nerazzurri hoping to secure a deal for €18-20 million, the only sticking point may be the transfer fee. Tottenham’s relegation battle may yet play a part in this saga, and the 29-year-old Italian international should join Inter Milan soon.
