For the entire summer, Juventus’ search for a solution in goal has felt like a drawn-out saga. From exploring high-profile moves for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez and Liverpool’s Alisson Becker to monitoring other domestic targets, the Bianconeri searched far and wide to shore up a goalkeeping department that struggled for consistent form last term
On Tuesday, that long search finally produced a breakthrough.
Juventus officially announced the arrival of 29-year-old Italian shot-stopper Guglielmo Vicario on a initial season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur. After making 117 appearances in North London and helping Spurs lift the Europa League title in 2025, Vicario returns to Serie A looking for a fresh start.
The move brings an end to a tricky period at Tottenham for Vicario, who had fallen down the pecking order following the rise of Antonín Kinský and missed out on key pre-season action. Now back on home soil, he turns his focus toward solidifying his spot in the national team picture and securing regular minutes at the highest level.
Here are the official details of the deal from Juventus’ press office:
There’s another new Bianconero in Turin – Guglielmo Vicario has joined the Club on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur that will run until 30 June, 2027.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper came through the ranks in Italy with Udinese, before heading away from Udine to represent Venezia, Perugia, Cagliari and Empoli, making 69 Serie A appearances for the latter. During his time in Tuscany, he established himself as one of the very best goalkeepers in Italy.
He joined Tottenham in 2023, and went on to play 117 times for the North London side. He also helped the English side to silverware when they won the Europa League in 2024/25.
Now, he’s ready to defend our goal.
Welcome to Juventus, Guglielmo!
Vicario doesn’t arrive simply to provide backup cover. He comes in with every intention of mounting a immediate challenge for the starting spot under manager Luciano Spalletti. While Michele Di Gregorio began the summer as the primary choice, his inconsistent displays opened the door for competition. Vicario’s proven agility and command of his area — honed during successful spells at Empoli and in the Premier League — give Spalletti a battle-tested option ahead of Juve’s Serie A opener against Frosinone.
