"Juventus agree deal to sign Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham, here we go!" Fabrizio Romano said as reports emerged that Tottenham had accepted Juventus' bid for Guglielmo Vicario. The move is set up as a loan with an option to buy, and that option is not mandatory. Romano also said Vicario leaves Tottenham today.
The deal structure
David Ornstein reported that Tottenham accept Juventus' bid, with the proposal sent overnight and the move lined up as a loan plus option to buy next summer. He also said all parties expect the Italy international's signing to go ahead after Emiliano Martínez's pursuit was called off, which removed the alternative Juventus had been working on.
That is the key detail in the story. The accepted bid is not a permanent sale announced in one line, and it is not an obligation-to-buy deal either. Juventus get the goalkeeper in now, Tottenham keep the structure flexible, and Vicario gets the move he wanted.
Tottenham's goalkeeper reset
The exit also fits the wider Tottenham reshuffle. Vicario underwent hernia surgery in March, Antonin Kinsky stepped in after that, and Tottenham already leaned on him while Vicario was out. The club also finished 17th in the 2025 Premier League and went 10W-11D-17L, so a summer clear-out was always likely to touch the goalkeeping group.
There is no official confirmation of a permanent transfer yet, but the move has clearly moved beyond speculation. Juventus have their goalkeeper target, Tottenham have accepted the bid, and the only remaining detail in public is the non-mandatory buy option that keeps the first half of the deal as a loan.
