Serie A side Juventus successfully completed the initial loan signing of Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham not too long ago. 

This came after the keeper had endured a period of chaos in London. He was clearly out of the project. Towards the end of last season, Roberto De Zerbi showed an inclination towards using Antonin Kinsky, even if the Italian was fit.

The move from Tottenham to Juve did take a while, though. Several Italian clubs were hunting for him but it appears as if Vicario has joined his dream club.

He spoke to Sky Italia and looked back on his spell at Spurs and gave his views about the move to Turin.

He said – via TuttoSport, appearing grateful about the experience in England:

“I hope I can say I’m more mature and more aware, with a different set of experiences. Going abroad opens you up: you experience different cultures, languages, situations, different dressing rooms, different methodologies.”

“I’ll definitely arrive more complete, even if without the path I’ve taken previously it wouldn’t have been possible. I’m arriving at a club with a huge history, structure, and ambition, and this will be the challenge that drives me every day,”

When asked to delve deeper into what led to the Tottenham exit, Vicario chose to not go into the details.

“I don’t like to talk about the past or what should or could have been done. There were some dynamics that didn’t align, probably for various reasons that don’t make sense to mention now. I want to focus on the present and try to maintain balance in this new adventure.”

The 29-year-old also thanked De Zerbi for giving him the chance to actively seek a Tottenham exit.

He revealed: “What was our relationship like? Fantastic, from day one. I thank him, I did so personally the day I signed with Juventus.”

“He was a genuine, direct person with me, and above all, a man of his word. He gave me the opportunity to take this step I had in mind, he supported me, and I will always be grateful.”

He made it clear the saga was full of stress but he has now accomplished his dream.

“I’ve always maintained my faith, but these were unusual weeks, with a bit of stress, because my dream was to come to Juventus. There are market dynamics you can’t control, the club makes its own assessments. I’m happy they chose me, because this was my biggest dream.”

The change in environment does seem to have helped Vicario, who has already played twice for Juve. His save against Parma was a good sign that things are going in the right direction again.
