Vicario’s dream move to Juventus carries huge responsibility

Guglielmo Vicario returns to Serie A, solving the Juventus goalkeeper puzzle just two weeks before the transfer window closes, and declares, "Avrò grandi responsabilità, ma essere alla Juve è un sogno" as he steps onto the Italian stage.

The move ends the uncertainty surrounding Juve's goalkeeping options, with the club confirming Vicario’s arrival ahead of the deadline. It also marks his first Serie A contract since leaving Empoli.

Nicknamed "Venom" early in Italy, the moniker later spread among former Tottenham supporters who adopted it for the Italian keeper. The nickname reflects his aggressive style and has become a talking point among fans.

Vicario sent a clear message to Juventus supporters, promising to defend the goal with determination. The club’s official channels released a partial interview, promising the full version tomorrow.

He is set to make his league debut in five days against newly promoted Frosinone. The match comes as Frosinone continues a work‑in‑progress phase of player arrivals and departures.

Speaking about his lifelong ambition, Vicario said the emotion is huge and that he has dreamed of this moment since childhood. He expressed pride for himself and his family for reaching this point.

He added that representing Juventus means bearing a great responsibility, citing the club’s colours and history as a source of pride. Vicario said he feels “extremely happy” to take on the role.
