One Tottenham player is expected to complete a £17m move in the summer transfer window with both parties looking to cut ties and end his stay in north London

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is poised to sign for Inter Milan this summer, it has been claimed.

The Serie A side have been in the market for a replacement for Yann Sommer, 37, who is expected to leave Inter when his contract expires in June and sporting director Piero Ausilio was in London for talks earlier this week.

Ausilio met with Vicario's agent Valerio Giufridda on Wednesday before Tottenham's Champions League round of 16 second leg tie against Atletico Madrid and Inter are confident about getting a transfer done for £17 million, according to the Daily Mail.

Vicario, 29, started the game against Atletico and made a number of standout saves as Spurs ran out 3-2 winners on the night, though it wasn't enough to see them overturn the three-goal deficit from the first leg as Igor Tudor's side crashed out of the competition.

A 5-2 defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano last week did the damage with Tudor opting to start Antonin Kinsky before taking him off and bringing on Vicario in the 17th minute.

Vicario has been at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since 2023 following his £17m move from Empoli. He made an impressive start to life in north London until opponents figured out his weakness dealing with a high ball before he then made several mistakes with his feet.

He was an integral part of Ange Postecoglou's side before suffering a broken ankle in a 4-0 win at Manchester City in November 2024 and was forced to miss three months of action. However, Vicario did return to help Spurs win the Europa League, with the ex-Cagliari man keeping a clean sheet in the final against Manchester United.

Although Vicario still has more than two years left on his Tottenham contract, it appears there is a mutual understanding that it will be best for both parties to go separate ways in the summer.

Vicario will be back playing Champions League football should he sign for Inter, with the San Siro club six points clear at the top of the Serie A table and eyeing up a 21st Scudetto and a second in three years.

Despite the speculation around Vicario's future, his and Tottenham's immediate attention is on Sunday's crucial Premier League outing against Nottingham Forest. Spurs are embroiled in a relegation dogfight, with Tudor's men 16th, just one point and one place above Forest in the top flight.
