Juventus have agreed a deal with Tottenham for Guglielmo Vicario to join on an initial loan after the Italian side decided against a move for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez.
Vicario is set to leave Spurs having lost his place as Roberto De Zerbi’s No 1 to Antonin Kinsky, with the agreement with Juventus containing an option to make the Italy goalkeeper’s move permanent next year for £8.6m.

What happened
Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham's first-choice goalkeeper, is poised to depart Spurs for Juventus in a loan arrangement. The move would see the Italian shot-stopper return to Serie A after his time in the Premier League. The deal would leave Tottenham needing to address their goalkeeping situation, while Juventus would gain an experienced Premier League-level keeper on a temporary basis. The transfer was reported as the August 2026 window approaches its closing stages.
Chance analysis
Vicario's departure would be a significant blow to Tottenham's defensive stability, as he has been their established No. 1 goalkeeper. Spurs would need to either promote a backup or seek a replacement, potentially leaving them vulnerable heading into the early part of the season. For Juventus, acquiring a Premier League-proven goalkeeper on loan is a low-risk squad upgrade, though it signals a gap in their own goalkeeping depth. This move could affect Tottenham's short-term defensive metrics and market confidence in their squad planning.
Tottenham lose their starting goalkeeper, weakening their defensive line until a replacement is found; Juventus strengthen their goalkeeping options with a Premier League-proven player.
Tottenham's defensive and goalkeeping stability may be weakened by Vicario's departure; factor in potential new keeper or untested backup for Spurs matches.
