Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario and Aston Villa’s Emi Martínez have not had an easy last few months at their clubs.
sports witness Italy’s interest in the Azzurri goalkeeper has been covered. Inter Milan and Juventus are admirers of his profile and initial contact has also been suggested.
In January, Martínez was Joined together The Nerazzurri appeared keen on a move to Serie A, even though a deal never materialized when the cost became apparent.
It now appears that the Tottenham player’s future could be linked to the Aston Villa veteran.
Martínez as substitute for Vicario

He believes the Tottenham goalkeeper appeals to CEO Beppe Marotta. There has been some progress with their squad but the real problem is their age and evaluation profile.
They don’t want to go over €25 million to sign him, Spurs could demand more than that. Inter believe this could be enough for the 29-year-old player.
That’s why Marotta will soon be asking permission from the club’s Oaktree ownership.
Meanwhile, Martínez is being looked at as an option. The outlet says the Argentinian goalkeeper was offered to the Italian giants in January and was the reason behind the link during the winter window.
The only problem for the World Cup winner is his age and Aston Villa will not let him depart for free in the summer. His contract at Villa Park expires in 2029, meaning a deal would cost some money, with Martínez’s wages at €3m a year – possibly after tax – also causing concern.
Our opinion on Vicario and Martínez
Both goalkeepers are nearing the end of their tenures at their respective clubs.
Vicario will clearly have more suitors in Italy, as he performed quite well during his time at Empoli. Furthermore, he is close to becoming the Azzurri’s back-up to Gianluigi Donnarumma and that helps his situation.
Martínez is older and, at 33, a new challenge in Serie A, especially on higher wages, could prove risky for contenders.
