Inter Milan's attempts to sign Guglielmo Vicario Tottenham Hotspur This summer has hit a standstill, with Spurs demanding a price well in excess of their means.
tutomercatoweb There are reports that the Italian side may be disappointed in their long-running attempts to sign Vicario as their new number one.
Inter are looking for a new number one goalkeeper this summer. Yann Sommer is heading for the exit after three inconsistent seasons, and the Nerazzurri are determined to secure a reliable long-term starter.
Somar's exit brought pressure in the market
It appears that Yann Sommer's time at San Siro is nearing its conclusion, prompting Inter to accelerate plans for a successor.
His priority is clear; They want a goalkeeper who is able to handle the pressure, workload and expectations that come with being the undisputed number one for a title-challenging team.
Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario has emerged as the standout goal. Reports for months, particularly from Italy, have indicated that they are working on a deal for the 29-year-old.
A report earlier this month said Inter had already reached a framework agreement With the Tottenham goalkeeper. It claimed that an official proposal would be coming soon.
A report yesterday said A meeting was held on this move. All indications are that it will happen this summer.
Ideal profile but unrealistic price
TMW now report that Guglielmo Vicario is Inter's biggest target this summer, but Tottenham's demands have posed an immediate hurdle.
Spurs are reportedly demanding €25-30m, a valuation well above Inter's range. They are looking to spend just €15m on their new number one.
Because of that huge gap, at the moment, negotiations are at a standstill. The Italian club are looking to spend, but only half of what Tottenham are currently demanding. This means serious negotiations will be needed if a deal is to be struck this summer.
what happens next?
Unless Tottenham soften their stance, Inter may be forced to make changes quickly. Perhaps Spurs' demands are so high that reports are already linking other names.
Of course, everything depends on what happens with Tottenham this season. If they cannot avoid relegation, there is likely to be a massive sale of first-team players this summer. In that situation, Guglielmo Vicario will have a difficult task to maintain his high demands.
Inter are probably betting on this. They will no longer move forward, waiting to see how things develop. However, it is doubtful whether Tottenham would offer a 50% discount from their asking price even in the event of demotion.
