Juventus have reportedly ended their pursuit of Mile Svilar after Roma rejected the club’s latest improved offer worth €42 million.
With negotiations now at a standstill, the Bianconeri have decided to shift their focus to what is expected to become their new first-choice goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario.
According to Ansa, Juventus have identified the Tottenham goalkeeper as the ideal replacement for Michele Di Gregorio, who is widely expected to leave Turin during the current transfer window.

After failing to convince Roma to sell Svilar, the club’s management has wasted little time in moving toward an alternative target.
Juventus Intensify Contacts with Tottenham for Vicario
As reported by Ansa, discussions between Juventus and Tottenham have become increasingly frequent in recent days, with further talks expected to take place soon.
The Italian international is valued at around €15 million, a fee considered well within Juventus’ financial reach as they look to resolve their goalkeeping situation before the start of the new season.
Vicario’s experience in both Serie A and the Premier League makes him an attractive option for Juventus.
The 28-year-old has built a strong reputation for his shot-stopping ability, composure on the ball, and leadership at the back—qualities the Bianconeri believe would help strengthen their squad ahead of a demanding campaign.
Carnevali Continues Juventus’ Busy Transfer Window

Following the completion of the deal for Ekhator from Genoa, the club is now pushing to finalize agreements for both Vicario and Muharemovic.
The decision to move decisively for Vicario highlights Juventus’ intention to avoid lengthy negotiations after the setback in their pursuit of Svilar.
If talks with Tottenham continue to progress positively over the coming days, the Italian goalkeeper could soon become one of the club’s next major signings as Juventus continue reshaping their squad for the upcoming season.
