Juventus hesitant to pay €30 million to sign Guglielmo Vicario, have turned to Alisson Becker
Juventus are looking to bring in a quality goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, and they have identified Guglielmo Vicario as a target.
According to a report by Corriere della Sera via Sport Witness, Juventus are unwilling to pay the €30 million asking price to sign Guglielmo Vicario in the summer transfer window. The Italian shot-stopper has been error-prone at Tottenham, and they are prepared to sanction his departure. It will be interesting to see if the Serie A giants are ready to get the deal done.
The Tottenham Hotspur mainstay is eager to move back to his homeland and regain his form and confidence with a fresh start. However, Tottenham’s €30 million asking price has compelled Juventus to look elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the report has added that that Juventus are now looking at Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker as an alternative to Guglielmo Vicario. The Brazilian has been exceptional for Liverpool since arriving from AS Roma several years ago, and it will be interesting to see whether he is prepared to return to Italy.
Alisson is entering the twilight stages of his career, but he has been exceptional in the Premier League. He is a world-class player and certainly one of the best in his position. If Juventus can manage to convince him to join the club, it would be a masterstroke from them.
The veteran goalkeeper could be available for a reasonable fee because of his contract situation, making him a more appealing target than Guglielmo Vicario. He will be out of contract in 2027, and Liverpool have not yet been able to agree on a new deal with him.
Alisson has been a star for Liverpool
The Brazilian is not just a world-class player; he is a leader in the Liverpool dressing room. Losing him would be a devastating blow for the club. It remains to be seen whether the Premier League champions will sanction his departure anytime soon. They should do everything in their power to tie him down to an extension.
Meanwhile, Alisson knows Serie A well, and there is no doubt that he could make an immediate impact at Juventus. If Liverpool are prepared to sanction his departure, joining the Serie A club might not be a bad idea. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds amid Juventus’s links with Guglielmo Vicario and Alisson.
