Inter are already planning for the future between the posts, and they have reportedly identified their top target to succeed Yann Sommer. According to reports from Sky Italia, as relayed by Calciomercato, the Nerazzurri have made initial contact for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
The Italian international is seen as the ideal profile to take over the starting role at the San Siro starting next season. The report suggests that Vicario would be extremely keen on a move back to Italy to join the reigning Serie A champions, viewing it as a significant step forward in his career and a chance to compete for major honors in his home country.
However, while the player’s approval may be easier to obtain, the negotiations with Tottenham are expected to be anything but simple. Spurs invested heavily to bring the former Empoli man to North London, and the English club is known for being one of the toughest negotiators in world football. Extracting a starting goalkeeper from a Premier League side mid-project will require a significant financial effort and a complex diplomatic approach from the Inter management.
With Sommer’s age becoming a factor, Inter are determined to secure a long-term solution. The groundwork has been laid with these first contacts, but fans should prepare for a long and difficult tug-of-war with Spurs over the coming months.
