Juventus continue their search for a long-term solution between the posts, and according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Guglielmo Vicario is becoming an increasingly strong candidate within the club’s internal discussions.
The former Empoli goalkeeper, who recently enjoyed a successful spell at Tottenham and lifted the Europa League, is viewed as a more financially sustainable option compared to several of the other names under consideration.

His familiarity with Italian football, combined with the experience he has gained in the Premier League and with the Italian national team, makes him one of the most highly rated profiles among the Juventus hierarchy.
Maignan Remains Admired, But Deal Looks Difficult
Among the opportunities being monitored by Juventus is also Mike Maignan. The French goalkeeper has been on the club’s radar in the past and continues to be appreciated for both his technical ability and leadership qualities.
However, the investment required to persuade Milan to part ways with one of their key players is considered extremely high. At this stage, the financial demands involved make any potential move particularly difficult to complete.
Several Alternatives Still Under Review
Juventus are determined not to rush their decision and continue to evaluate the market from every angle.
Other goalkeepers being monitored include Alexander Nübel of Bayern Munich, Fiorentina veteran David De Gea, and Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is currently under contract with Liverpool.
With the World Cup approaching and several situations still evolving, the Bianconeri prefer to keep multiple options open before making a final decision on the goalkeeper who could anchor the club’s future.
Evaluations continue on a daily basis. While Vicario and Martinez currently appear to be the most realistic candidates, Juventus remain alert to any market opportunities that could emerge in the coming weeks.
The club’s objective is clear: identify a goalkeeper capable of providing reliability, leadership, and international experience to lead a new era between the posts in Turin.
