Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario’s potential summer move to Inter Milan has stalled.
Guglielmo Vicario’s proposed move to Inter Milan has stalled, with the Italian goalkeeper set to remain at Tottenham Hotspur for the time being, according to Spurs Daily on X.
The development represents a significant twist in one of the summer’s most anticipated transfer sagas. Fabrizio Romano had previously confirmed that Vicario was high on Inter’s shortlist since December, with talks between the clubs expected to follow. That process has now hit an obstacle significant enough to bring negotiations to a halt, leaving the goalkeeper’s future in a state of genuine uncertainty.
The nature of the stall is not specified, though the breakdown of talks between clubs of this stature typically involves disagreements over fee, personal terms, or a change in the buying club’s priorities. Inter’s pursuit of alternative goalkeeping options may have intensified their negotiations elsewhere, or Tottenham’s valuation of Vicario may have proven higher than the Italian club was willing to meet following the club’s survival confirmation.
What makes the situation particularly complex is the second element of the report. While Vicario will currently remain at Tottenham, the door has not been firmly closed on a departure. The acknowledgment that other clubs could yet enter the picture means his long-term future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains unclear despite the Inter move collapsing.
Tottenham have scouted replacements for Vicario
For Roberto De Zerbi and the Tottenham recruitment team, the development adds another layer of complexity to an already intricate summer planning process. Tottenham had already been scouting potential goalkeeper replacements, with PSG’s Lucas Chevalier and Cagliari’s Elia Caprile both identified as targets, and Antonin Kinsky’s impressive late-season form under De Zerbi raising questions about the long-term hierarchy between the posts.
The most pressing question now is whether Vicario begins pre-season as the undisputed number one with his future at the club resolved, or whether the uncertainty continues into the summer window and potentially beyond. De Zerbi will want clarity in the position as quickly as possible, having spoken emphatically about the need to build a proper squad without the kind of instability that has defined this past season. The goalkeeping situation requires a definitive answer, and the stalling of the Inter deal means that answer has been delayed rather than delivered.
