Could Vic be headed home?

The target in this case?
Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who is reportedly of interest to Serie A club Inter Milan: Inter, Ausilio a Londra: contatto per Vicario👇🏻 https://t. co/7dhydFMEEK — Gianluca Di Marzio (@DiMarzio) March 19, 2026 Gianluca Di Marzio is typically pretty clued up when it comes to Italian football, and his report states that Inter’s sporting director Piero Ausilio was in London over the last couple of days to assess Vicario, as well as Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, with Inter apparently looking for a replacement for keeper Yann Sommer this summer. A similar report, this time from Matt Barlow at the Daily Mail , echoed Di Marzio’s piece, but took things a little further: Barlow declared Ausilio actually met with Vicario’s agent, and that Inter are hopeful a deal can be done for somewhere in the region of £17 million.
Is there somebody you’ve forgotten to talk to, Inter? All things considered, a return to Italy this summer probably makes sense for both Vicario and Spurs. It’s been a challenging season for the Italian keeper, as his weaknesses have been brought to the fore, especially under Spurs’ previous head coach Thomas Frank.
Vicario has always struggled somewhat with the ball at his feet, but that’s been exposed even more this campaign, with his usual strength of shot-stopping also becoming less of a reliable feature and more of an inconsistent bonus. Vicario is now among the bottom of the league in goals prevented, save percentage, and errors leading to goal, in a season where Spurs really could have used him taking a step up. Goalkeeper has therefore shifted from being one of those “kick the can down the road, deal with it if the right opportunity arises” positions to a “we should deal with this sooner rather than later” situation.
