Potential Inter transfer U-turn on Vicario despite agreement with Tottenham goalkeeper
Multiple sources in Italy claim that Inter might decide against signing Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham this summer and instead rely on their current second-choice goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, in 2026-27.
Vicario might not be joining Inter over the summer despite having already reached an agreement with the fresh Serie A winners.
Multiple sources over the last few weeks reported that the Nerazzurri had reached a principle of agreement with the Italy international, although they still had to receive the green light from Tottenham, who value Vicario at €20m.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri might ultimately decide against signing Vicario and instead use their transfer budget to strengthen other areas.
Inter is reportedly considering relying on their current second-choice goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, instead of proceeding with the transfer of Vicario.
An agreement was reportedly reached for Vicario to join Inter, but the club is now reconsidering this decision.
Josep Martinez is Inter's current second-choice goalkeeper, and the club may opt to keep him for the 2026-27 season instead of signing Vicario.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported earlier this week that the Nerazzurri will have a budget of €40-50m for new signings in the summer, which could be boosted with some sales.
Yann Sommer is expected to leave at the end of his contract in June, so the second-choice keeper Martinez would be deployed as a regular starter in goal next season if Inter decide against welcoming Vicario.
The Italian goalkeeper remains on Inter’s radar, but transfer expert Matteo Moretto has also reported that the Nerazzurri are now unsure about whether to continue talks with Tottenham, given that Martinez could become their first option for the new campaign.
If Inter don’t sign Vicario, they’d still have to get a high-level second-choice keeper who would potentially compete with Martinez for a starting spot in goal next season, Moretto said.
Martinez, 27, will start the next two matches against Lazio, first in Serie A and then in the Coppa Italia Final.
He has only made eight appearances across all competitions this season, going through a tough time off the pitch after being involved in a car accident that killed an 81-year-old man in an electric wheelchair in October 2025.
Martinez is in his second season at the Stadio Meazza, having joined Inter from Genoa for €14m in the 2024 summer transfer window.
