Italian clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan are reportedly setting their sights on Guglielmo Vicario, the unsettled No. 1 at Tottenham, as both search for a long-term goalkeeper solution this summer.
According to 
, is being seriously considered at the end of the season, offering both player and clubs a logical reset.
Tottenham appear ready to act pre-emptively. The club has begun monitoring several talented goalkeepers, indicating they do not intend to wait until summer to rebuild between the sticks.
Among their targets are James Trafford, the young English shot-stopper at Manchester City and 23-year-old Dutch keeper Bart Verbruggen from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Spurs have identified possible replacements
Trafford is increasingly frustrated by a lack of playing time at City after the arrival of a new No. 1.
Spurs view him as a long-term option who could grow into the club’s number one.
Verbruggen, meanwhile, has impressed with his performances in the Premier League and now ranks among the top young goalkeepers in Europe, attracting interest not just from Spurs, but also from other elite clubs.
Any signing would be made with the aim of immediately boosting squad confidence, especially with European qualification and long-term stability in mind.
For Vicario, a return to Italy could offer a fresh start and a chance to re-establish himself in Serie A, closer to home and possibly under less pressure than at Spurs.
