Guglielmo Vicario’s future is suddenly being treated as a Serie A story. Juventus and Napoli are both seeking the Tottenham goalkeeper this summer, and the Italy link is not just guesswork, because Vicario is open to a return and expects to leave before the new season begins. Tottenham are understood to be open to offers for the 29-year-old.

Vicario's appeal in Italy

The interest is not hard to explain. Vicario has made 117 appearances for Tottenham across all competitions and kept 29 clean sheets, so this is not a fringe-player situation or a squad-clearout rumour built on very little. He has given Spurs enough to attract proper attention, which is why the links to Italy have moved beyond casual chatter.

Ciro Venerato reported that “A swap between Vanja Milinković-Savić and Guglielmo Vicario is being considered. Napoli are ready to begin negotiations with Tottenham.” That is a stronger line than pure speculation, even if it still leaves room for the caveat that this is early-stage talk rather than a done deal. Vanja Milinković-Savić has become part of the conversation because Napoli are clearly exploring the structure of any move.

Tottenham's position and the swap talk

Tottenham's 17th-place league finish underlines why summer movement feels plausible, even if the club are not being forced into anything here. The current picture is simple enough: Spurs are open to offers, Vicario wants Italy, and two of Serie A's biggest names are watching the same goalkeeper.

There is still a difference between active interest and a settled agreement. Some reports push the idea of a live swap, others frame it as an early concept, but the direction of travel is clear enough. Juventus and Napoli are in the frame, Tottenham are not closing the door, and Vicario is the player most likely to decide whether this turns into a proper move.

For now, the story sits on that line between interest and action. Vicario remains a Tottenham player, but the clubs circling him, and his own preference for a return to Italy, make this one of the more credible goalkeeper stories of the window.
