Key Takeaways
- Inter Milan have reached a provisional agreement with Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario regarding contract length and salary.
- Tottenham Hotspur face a relegation battle that could force them to sell the Italian keeper for a reduced fee.
- The future of backup goalkeeper Josep Martinez remains uncertain as he seeks regular first-team football.
Inter Milan have moved closer to signing Guglielmo Vicario after agreeing basic terms with the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper. However, the Serie A club must resolve two significant issues before the Italy international can join them at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri have tracked the 29-year-old throughout the 2025-26 campaign. They need a new goalkeeper because Yann Sommer will leave when his contract expires in June. The 37-year-old Swiss shot-stopper is not expected to sign an extension.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter have settled on contract duration and wages with Vicario’s representatives. The exact financial details remain private, but the understanding between both parties is described as “complete”.
Recent reports in Italy suggest Tottenham would demand between €15 million and €20 million for the former Empoli keeper. This price could drop sharply if Spurs drop into the Championship. The North London club currently sit inside the relegation zone, two points below the safety line with only four matches remaining this season.
The second problem involves Josep Martinez. The 27-year-old Spaniard has acted as Sommer’s deputy for the past two seasons. He has performed well during his rare appearances, but this creates a dilemma for the club.
Martinez recognises his own ability and wants to start matches regularly next term. He may pursue opportunities elsewhere if Inter cannot guarantee him the number one position.
