Juventus end summer goalkeeping hunt with €8m Vicario loan

Juventus have secured goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham Hotspur on a loan that runs until 30 June 2027, with an obligation‑free option to buy for €8 million and up to €2 million in performance‑related add‑ons. The move ends a summer‑long search for a reliable shot‑stopper and gives Juventus a proven Serie A keeper.

Goalkeeper crisis prompts Juventus move

Juventus’ summer‑long goalkeeper search intensified after Michele Di Gregorio’s error‑prone performances. The club evaluated options such as Liverpool’s Alisson Becker and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez before opting for Vicario. The loan with a purchase option offers a swift solution to the problem.

Vicario’s Serie A pedigree

The 29‑year‑old Guglielmo Vicario progressed through Udinese’s youth system before senior spells at Venezia, Perugia, Cagliari and Empoli. At Empoli he logged 69 Serie A appearances and earned a reputation as one of the league’s most reliable shot‑stoppers. He joined Tottenham in 2023, amassed 117 appearances and was part of the squad that won the Europa League in the 2024/25 season.

Mattia Perin and Carlo Pinsoglio remain in Juventus’ goalkeeping roster as additional options. Their Serie A campaign begins against Frosinone on 23 August.

Vicario was observed at Anfield during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Tottenham on 15 MARCH 2026 in ENGLAND. The encounter took place in March 2026. The match was held in England.

Juventus’ official statement concluded with a simple welcome: “Welcome to Juventus, Guglielmo!” The loan runs until 30 June 2027 and includes an obligation‑free option to buy.

Should Juventus decide to make the transfer permanent, they will pay Tottenham €8 million, with a further €2 million possible through performance‑related add‑ons. The deal provides Juventus with a proven Serie A goalkeeper while giving Vicario a return to Italy after his Premier League stint.
