Guglielmo Vicario has struggled at Tottenham this season. There is now a possibility that he may leave the London team for a cut-price fee.

The goalkeeper has been criticized many times, with his ability on the ball questioned. His situation has attracted the attention of Inter Milan, who have been pursuing him for several months.

sports witness This month it covered claims that Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio was at Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid two weeks ago. Initial contact has been made for Vicario, who is seen by the Nerazzurri as a replacement for Yann Sommer.

There are now indications that Inter Spurs could try to strike a bargain deal for the player.

Spurs’ demotion could make things easier

transfer market Emphasize that the 29-year-old is at the top of Inter’s shortlist for potential goalkeepers. There have been other options on the table such as Elia Caprile but the Italy international’s profile eclipses them all.

Vicario has expressed full approval for the move to Inter. He is currently in the company of several Nerazzurri players during the international break, having been linked with the likes of Alessandro Bastoni and Federico DiMarco.

The report confirms that Ausilio was in London for Spurs’ last Champions League game. He was also accompanied by Gabriele Giuffrida and they discussed the feasibility of a move for the Tottenham player.

The outlet is confident that the London club’s current valuation of the player is €18m to €20m. If they were removed, the price could go down further.

Our view: Tottenham should try to make more progress

Vicario’s stock has fallen this season but his current deal at Tottenham expires in 2028. For a goalkeeper, 29 is still a pretty good age. Considering their experience in the Champions League and Europa League, Spurs should look to make more money from their sales.

He also earned the first silverware of his career last season, which will help boost his valuation.

While Inter hope to topple Tottenham’s demotion, there are still several weeks left for that to happen. That’s why it seems the Italian press is just dreaming big and hoping things work out in Inter’s favor.

Leeds United’s interest in Danny Namasso is entering a more complicated phase, with the situation now in danger of getting out of their hands due to developments in France.

The Whites have been tracking the Porto-owned forward for several months. As we covered in the first seasonHis name came up with clubs in Spain and France. At that time, the feeling was that their positions could be opened at relatively low costs. However, that window may now be closed.

Debt is turning into a permanent move

Namasso joined AJ Auxerre on loan last summer, which seemed like a favorable structure for potential buyers. The deal included a €5m (£4.3m) buyout clause, significantly less than his €80m (£68.5m) release clause at Porto.

This figure was one of the main reasons why Leeds United were cautious. This presented a rare opportunity to sign a 25-year-old forward with top level experience at a modest price. However, since then, his role in France has grown rapidly.

The Cameroon international has established himself as a regular starter. He has played 1,896 minutes in Ligue 1 this season. This accounts for approximately 81% of Auxerre’s total minutes so far.

As a result, he has effectively cleared one of the two conditions required to make the €5m (£4.3m) clause mandatory. The limit on minutes available throughout the campaign was set at 60%.

Even when projecting a full season, he’s already well above that figure.

The fight for survival is important now

The second position is more uncertain and is now at the center of Leeds United’s hopes.

As reported by Portuguese newspaper to ballAuxerre would have to remain in Ligue 1 for the clause to be mandatory. Currently, they are 16th in the table, which will send them to the relegation play-offs.

They are eight points behind safety, making automatic survival difficult. The most realistic route appears to be maintaining that play-off position.

Importantly, those extra matches will also count towards Namasso’s minutes. This will only strengthen its position within the agreement.

If Auxerre remains up, the transfer becomes automatic. In that scenario, Leeds United would no longer have a direct way to negotiate with Porto. If they go down, the positions reopen – but not completely.

Auxerre will still retain the option to sign him for €5m (£4.3m). Yet demotion may reduce their willingness to invest at that level.

Practicing Patience for Leads

The timing of all this is strange for Leeds United. When Namso’s condition appeared to be flexible, he recognized Namso. Now, their continued involvement and Auxerre’s reliance on them is taking this deal to a permanent outcome.

This will force the leads to wait.

Should Auxerre secure survival, the door is effectively closed unless they are willing to negotiate with the French club instead. If demotion occurs, there may be a second chance – but possibly with more competition and less control.

Either way, what once seemed a straightforward deal is now linked to a demotion fight in France.
