Juventus change course in goalkeeping search
Juventus’ search for a new goalkeeper took a clear turn before the agreement with Guglielmo Vicario. The club ended its pursuit of Emiliano Martínez and began working on a deal for the Tottenham player. Abandoning the Argentine opened the door to a different type of negotiation: instead of moving forward with Martínez, Juventus agreed to sign Vicario on loan. For anyone searching for “Juventus’ new goalkeeper”, the answer is the Tottenham Italian, with his medical and contract signing already being arranged.
Agreement with Tottenham reached in recent hours
Juventus and Tottenham reached an agreement in recent hours. Vicario will move to Turin on loan, with the deal including an option to buy. This gives Juventus short-term cover while leaving open the possibility of making the goalkeeper’s move permanent at a later stage. Tottenham will release the player under this arrangement, while Juventus address their immediate squad need without committing to a permanent transfer at this point.
Timeline: from Emiliano Martínez to Guglielmo Vicario
Juventus initially considered Emiliano Martínez for the position. However, negotiations did not progress and the club abandoned the target. The board then turned its attention to Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Talks advanced until the loan agreement with an option to buy was settled. In recent hours, the clubs finalised their understanding. The final steps now involve the medical and contract signing, both of which are already being arranged ahead of the official announcement.
What remains before Vicario is announced by Juventus
The agreement is in place, but the transfer still depends on the final procedures. Vicario is expected to undergo his medical and sign the contract before Juventus can officially announce him. Until confirmation, he remains a Tottenham player. The process is expected to be completed through the paperwork required to formalise the agreement between the clubs. No details have been provided on the fee, loan duration or conditions of the purchase option.
Vicario’s situation at Tottenham and Juventus
The deal makes Guglielmo Vicario central to Juventus’ solution in goal. The Italian club gain a goalkeeper on loan while retaining an option to buy in the future. For Tottenham, the agreement sets out the goalkeeper’s departure on a temporary basis. The change of target also explains the speed of the outcome: after ending their pursuit of Emiliano Martínez, Juventus completed the deal for Vicario and arranged the necessary steps to present their new goalkeeper.
