TeamTalk have now backed up those claims, revealing that both Juventus and Napoli are keen on signing the Spurs goalkeeper, while Tottenham themselves are actively working on a sale.Inter Milan had long been considered favourites to land Vicario, but the Serie A side have since opted against a move after promoting Josep Martinez to the role of first-choice goalkeeper. Signing Vicario after that was viewed as unnecessary given the financial outlay involved.That has now opened the door for Juventus, who are actively searching for a new goalkeeper. Liverpool’s Alisson was on their radar, but a move for the Brazilian collapsed despite personal terms having reportedly been agreed.Emi Martinez also remains under consideration, but his salary demands are understood to be even higher than Alisson’s, making a deal increasingly difficult to complete and leaving Vicario as one of Juventus’ primary targets.Spurs identify Bart Verbruggen as Guglielmo Vicario replacementNapoli are also interested in Vicario and, as Spurs Web revealed a few days ago, there has already been contact between the goalkeeper and the Italian club.TeamTalk has now confirmed that report and claims a move for Vicario would become more feasible should Alex Meret and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic depart this summer, with the Spurs man viewed as a strong candidate to become Napoli’s next long-term number one.Tottenham, who are keen to sell the Italian, are now said to have earmarked Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as their preferred replacement.While Roberto De Zerbi has been impressed by Antonin Kinsky, it is explained that Spurs would look to strengthen their goalkeeping options should Vicario leave. Verbruggen is believed to be high on their shortlist, although they are also considering other options, including James Trafford.Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin has also been touted as a potential target, although it remains unclear if Spurs’ interest is genuine.READ MORE: ‘Positive talks’ – David Ornstein reveals Tottenham’s chances of winning Sandro Tonali raceThe post Tottenham actively working on Guglielmo Vicario sale, and they have a £35m replacement in mind appeared first on Spurs Web.
