Vicario heading to Turin as Spurs agree loan deal

Tottenham Hotspur have sanctioned a temporary move for

Tottenham Hotspur have sanctioned a temporary move for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, allowing him to join Juventus on loan with a purchase option attached. The agreement, confirmed by sources close to the negotiations, hands the Italian shot-stopper a return to Serie A after his stint in North London.

The deal sees the 27-year-old head to the Allianz Stadium for the remainder of the season, with Juventus holding the right to make the switch permanent next summer. Spurs have accepted the proposal, which includes a buy clause that could turn the arrangement into a full transfer if certain conditions are met.

Vicario, who arrived at Tottenham from Empoli in 2023, has been a regular presence between the posts for the Premier League side. However, recent competition for the starting role has prompted the club to consider offers, and the Italian giants moved swiftly to secure his services.

Juventus have been active in the winter market

Juventus have been active in the winter market, seeking reinforcements in goal as they push for silverware on multiple fronts. Vicario’s experience in both English and Italian football is seen as a valuable asset, and he is expected to compete immediately for a starting berth under the club’s coaching staff.

For Tottenham, the loan provides flexibility, allowing them to assess their long-term goalkeeping options while offloading wages. The option to buy also offers a potential financial boost if Vicario impresses during his time in Turin. Both clubs are expected to finalize the paperwork in the coming days.

Vicario is slated to undergo a medical with his new side shortly, with an official announcement anticipated before the close of the transfer window. The move marks a notable shift for the player, who now gets the chance to showcase his talents back in his homeland on one of Europe’s biggest stages.
