Tottenham Hotspur It appears likely to lose Guglielmo Vicario in the summer. Roberto De Zerbi seems to have identified a potential replacement, who could also come from Italy.

The Spurs stopper is fast becoming an obvious summer target for Inter Milan. sports witness The negotiations have been widely covered, with individual terms already agreed upon between both sides.

Talks are still pending with Tottenham but the Nerazzurri are confident they can get a discount. Spurs’ potential demotion could also act as a driving force for a summer deal.

Juventus’ Michele Di Gregorio, who has had a strange season, is now in line to replace Vicario. The deal is unlikely to be easy, because tuttosport Take a closer look at the Italian.

Things are improving for Juventus players

Throughout the campaign, Di Gregorio has been the subject of criticism from many Old Lady supporters. There was a time earlier this year when he was dropped from the starting eleven, with Luciano Spalletti preferring Mattia Perin instead.

It worked, as Di Gregorio has been key in the last two games. He saved a penalty against Genoa and also put in an important performance against Atalanta at the weekend.

The newspaper believes Roberto De Zerbi is a big fan of the ex-Monza player. He is keen to bring him to Tottenham in the summer but Di Gregorio only has Juve on his mind.

The recent change in fortunes is a deciding factor as he believes he can continue to make an impact for the club. Even if Juve signs another experienced goalkeeper, he is willing to fight for the club and start regularly.

For this he has been described as ‘worthy of a superhero’, due to which the English are likely to lose interest.

Our take: Things can’t be that certain

Tuttosport has a habit of exaggerating its stance and promoting Juve’s players. This seems to be another case of the same.

Di Gregorio has made quite a change, but if Juve end up with David De Gea or Emi Martínez, there is no chance of him staying in Turin.

These are the two names that have been mentioned by the newspaper and they have proven to be shot-stoppers. He will not be second choice at any club – not even at Juve.

Furthermore, Di Gregorio’s issue has always been inconsistency and he needs to do more to turn his club’s stance around.

This is why Tottenham may still have a chance to sign the 28-year-old. Any move will depend on Premier League survival but the Italian has enough credit in the bank from last season to warrant a move to England.

Different lineups in the game, but I think it’s going to help us in the long run because we’ve got to see different lineups — guys in different spots and different roles that they’re not used to. We definitely have some work to do.
