The Tottenham star wants a move back to Serie A.
Tottenham are staring at yet another layer of instability after the dismissal of Thomas Frank, and this time it could cost them one of the few genuine leaders left in the dressing room. With Spurs sitting 16th and only five points clear of the relegation zone following the defeat to Newcastle, the mood around the club is fragile. An interim manager is expected before the North London Derby, but uncertainty is already bleeding into the squad.
One of the names now emerging is Guglielmo Vicario. Italian publication Gazzetta via Sport Witness suggests the goalkeeper is growing weary of the chaos surrounding Tottenham. While he remains settled in London on a personal level, the suggestion is that he is tired of the drama, the instability, and the lack of direction. That combination has put both Juventus and Inter Milan on alert ahead of the summer window.
The context matters. Juventus have doubts over Michele Di Gregorio, while Inter are actively planning for life beyond Yann Sommer, who is now 37 and no longer the commanding presence he once was. Vicario, at 29 and entering his prime years, fits the profile of a long-term solution. He is apparently open to a return to Serie A if the project feels stable and ambitious.
Uncertainties galore at Tottenham after Thomas Frank sack
Vicario still has two years left on his deal (Transfermarkt), and the club would likely demand a strong fee. Yet there is a broader question here. Can Spurs afford to lose another senior figure at a time when the dressing room is already unsettled? With injuries to Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison and controversy surrounding captain Cristian Romero, leadership has been in short supply.
Vicario arrived from Empoli in 2023 to replace Hugo Lloris and initially looked like an inspired signing. He was vocal, reactive, and brave in possession during his early months. However, like much of the team, his form has dipped over the last 18 months. Tottenham’s vulnerability at set pieces has exposed him repeatedly.
Even so, losing him now would represent another reset in a position Spurs thought was secured for years. A new manager, a shaky defence, and now potentially a new goalkeeper would compound the instability. Having said that, if Vicario truly feels ready to move on, it speaks volumes about the wider state of the club.
Much may depend on who takes charge next and what vision is presented. If Tottenham can articulate a clear, ambitious plan under new leadership, Vicario may yet be convinced to stay. But if uncertainty continues to define the club’s trajectory, God be with us.
