Attributed to original sourceTottenham have rebuffed Juventus’ attempt to sign Guglielmo Vicario on loan, leaving the Bianconeri’s goalkeeper search unresolved.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Spurs have not opened to the terms Juventus want for the Italy international, a loan without an obligation to buy, stalling a move that had been one of the club’s options between the posts.
Vicario, who won the Europa League with Tottenham in 2025, remains a possibility only if the London club soften their stance and agree to let him leave on those terms.

Villa want €10m for the World Cup winner, while Juventus have offered €7m plus €3m in bonuses, a gap described as bridgeable.
The one note of caution concerns Martínez’s fitness, after he played through a finger problem at the World Cup that may require surgery. Carnevali and Massara, working within tight financial limits, hope to settle the matter within 48 hours.

What happened
Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a loan bid from Juventus for Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Despite reports linking Vicario with a return to Serie A, Tottenham consider the goalkeeper a key part of their squad and are unwilling to let him leave on loan, let alone permanently. The rejection signals Tottenham's intent to keep their number one and provides clarity ahead of the January transfer window.
Chance analysis
Vicario has been a reliable starter for Tottenham since his arrival, and the club's firm rejection of Juventus's approach underscores their confidence in him. For Juventus, this means they must explore alternative goalkeeper options, potentially affecting their defensive structure. The decision removes a potential transfer distraction for Vicario and reinforces Tottenham's goalkeeping stability for the remainder of the season.
Vicario stays at Tottenham, maintaining their goalkeeping unit intact while Juventus continue searching for goalkeeping reinforcements.
Vicario remains Tottenham's first-choice goalkeeper, so his availability is unchanged; Juventus must seek alternative goalkeeper targets.
