Vicario Poised for Inter Move as Spurs Eye Trafford and Verbruggen

📅 2026-05-01

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to sanction the departure of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to Inter Milan this summer and have started evaluating potential replacements, as reported by Teamtalk.

Spurs reportedly resolved in January to permit Vicario’s exit at the season’s end, with Inter emerging as the frontrunners ahead of Juventus after agreeing to personal terms with the player’s representatives. Formal negotiations between the clubs to finalize the transfer are anticipated to commence shortly.

Tottenham’s choice for their new first-choice goalkeeper hinges on their Premier League status in the 2026-27 season. Should they face relegation, manager De Zerbi is likely to rely on current backup Antonin Kinsky. However, if they retain their top-flight position, the club will pursue an experienced goalkeeper, with Manchester City’s James Trafford and Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen under consideration.

Brighton’s strong prospects of European qualification next season could complicate a move for Verbruggen, their starting goalkeeper. Trafford, serving as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s understudy at Manchester City, may present a more attainable target for Spurs.
