REPORT: Vicario, Inter Milan reach agreement on personal terms for potential summer transfer

Vicario has been linked with a return to Italy, but there’s no agreement on a transfer fee between Inter and Spurs.

The Guglielmo Vicario transfer saga is heating up, and it looks like the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper could be packing his bags for Italy this summer. According to a new report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Vicario and his representatives have already agreed on personal terms with Serie A giants Inter Milan. While that's a big step, there's still no deal between the two clubs on a transfer fee—but don't expect that to be a roadblock for long.

Vicario, affectionately nicknamed "Googly Elmo" by some fans, has been sidelined recently after undergoing surgery for a lower abdominal injury he's been managing for much of the season. With Spurs sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone—roughly a 50% chance of dropping to the Championship—it's no surprise he's eyeing a return to his homeland. The report even suggests Inter is "cheering" for Tottenham to go down, which could drive down the asking price and make the deal even sweeter.

But Inter's move for Vicario isn't set in stone just yet. It all depends on what happens with their current No. 1, Josep Martinez, who's reportedly mulling a summer switch to Girona. If Martinez stays, Vicario might have to wait his turn. For Spurs, though, the writing seems to be on the wall. Backup goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has been a bright spot lately, shaking off a rough Champions League debut against Atletico Madrid to deliver some clutch saves in recent matches. His emergence has made the idea of selling Vicario surprisingly popular among the Spurs faithful, who've criticized the Italian for inconsistent performances and shaky distribution.

So, what's next for Tottenham? If Vicario moves on—and that looks increasingly likely—the club faces a tough call. Do they stick with Kinsky as the starter and bring in a homegrown veteran like Leeds United's Karl Darlow? Or do they splash the cash on an established No. 1 this summer? Either way, the goalkeeper position is set for a major shakeup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
