The Italian giants are monitoring the Premier League relegation zone, hoping to secure a cut-price deal.
Tottenham Hotspur face a serious battle to keep hold of Guglielmo Vicario. The goalkeeper is attracting major interest ahead of the summer transfer window. Monaco just entered the race for his signature, while the French club joins Inter Milan and Juventus in a fierce pursuit. A return to Italy looks entirely possible right now. Inter currently leads the chase according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Serie A side views the Tottenham star as the perfect long term successor to Yann Sommer.
Inter Milan sense a transfer opportunity
Cristian Chivu is managing Inter Milan. His recruitment team is watching the situation at Hotspur Way very closely. Tottenham are fighting a miserable relegation battle. Dropping into the Championship would force a massive squad clearout. Inter hopes a relegation will allow them to secure Vicario on a highly favorable financial deal.
The player reportedly remains keen on a move to San Siro. He actually reached an agreement on personal terms with Inter during his final days at Empoli. That agreement happened just before his eventual transfer to the Premier League. Monaco and Juventus present heavy competition. Inter still holds a distinct advantage due to their previous groundwork.
The looming threat of second tier football makes keeping a player like Vicario incredibly difficult. Besides this he’s come under-fire for his recent performances as well. Relegation forces a massive financial reset. The top earners almost always depart. Vicario fits that exact profile. Spurs must survive the drop to have any real hope of retaining top talent. The upcoming fixtures are absolutely critical to avoid a total squad collapse.
If a deal fails, Inter will target Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin as their primary alternative. The Spanish giants are prepared to negotiate. Tottenham cannot offer any stability right now. The board must prepare for massive bids.
