MILAN – Guglielmo Vicario, the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper, is reportedly open to a return to Serie A with Inter Milan, as his situation in North London continues to fray. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have identified the Italian international as their primary target to bolster their goalkeeping ranks for the 2026-27 season.
The potential move comes as Inter prepare for a possible change in net, with current goalkeeper Yann Sommer’s contract situation uncertain. While the club isn’t actively pursuing an extension for the Swiss international, they could reconsider if they receive attractive offers for backup goalkeeper Josep Martinez. This creates an opening for Vicario, who previously came close to joining Inter in 2023 before ultimately signing with Tottenham.
The shift in Vicario’s willingness to consider a return to Italy stems from a reported breakdown in his relationship with Tottenham. La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates that the situation has reached a “low point” in recent months, fueling his interest in a move back to his home country. This development has given Inter confidence that they can negotiate a deal with Tottenham, particularly as the Premier League club is currently battling to avoid relegation.
However, securing Vicario won’t come cheap. Inter are bracing for a potential asking price between €15 million and €20 million, contingent on Tottenham remaining in the Premier League. The financial implications of Tottenham’s league status will significantly impact the negotiation process.
Vicario, who turned 29 on October 7, 1996, began his professional career at Udinese but didn’t make a first-team appearance for the club. His journey included loan spells at Fontanafredda and Venezia before a move to Cagliari in 2019. Further loan stints followed with Perugia and Empoli, before finally establishing himself at Empoli and then earning a transfer to Tottenham in 2023. At Tottenham, he won his first major trophy, the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League.
The goalkeeper has represented Italy at the international level, earning five caps as of November 13, 2025. His experience and proven ability make him an attractive option for Inter, who are looking to strengthen their squad for a continued push for domestic and European success.
The situation at Tottenham is particularly noteworthy given their struggles in the Premier League. A relegation battle could force the club to consider selling valuable assets like Vicario, even if they are reluctant to do so. Inter will be closely monitoring Tottenham’s league form as they prepare their offer.
For Inter, adding a goalkeeper of Vicario’s caliber would represent a significant upgrade. Sommer has been a reliable presence, but Vicario offers a potentially long-term solution in goal. The Nerazzurri will be hoping that the strained relationship between Vicario and Tottenham will provide them an edge in negotiations.
The coming months promise to be crucial as Inter pursue Vicario and Tottenham navigate their fight for Premier League survival. The outcome of these events will have significant implications for both clubs and the future of the Italian international goalkeeper.
Inter’s next match is a Serie A clash against Atalanta on March 22, 2026, at the San Siro. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 PM CET (2:45 PM EDT). This match will be a key test for Inter as they continue their pursuit of the league title.
