Vicario’s Growing Dilemma as Inter Circle, Tottenham Turmoil Deepens

Crisis Point for Spurs’ Number One

Tottenham’s season has reached a point where frustration is bleeding into every corner of the club, and Guglielmo Vicario has found himself right at the centre of the storm. Gazzetta Dello Sport captured the tension vividly, detailing how the Italian, once adored in north London, is suddenly facing “jeers” after the costly mistake that gifted Fulham a goal in the recent defeat. It was described as “the Italian goalkeeper’s first serious mistake in two months,” yet the reaction was fierce enough to spark an internal debate about his future.

Even with Thomas Frank stating publicly that “Vicario isn’t the reason Tottenham are slowing down,” the mood around the goalkeeper has undeniably darkened. Supporters who once chanted his name are now looking elsewhere for blame, and the shift has hit him hard. The original article notes that the 29 year old is “seriously considering whether his future is better away from London,” and that Inter “are starting to wink at him.”

Rise From Unknown to Leader

When Vicario arrived from Empoli in 2023, he was viewed as a gamble. Gazzetta Dello Sport recalls how “few in London knew who he was,” yet he quickly dispelled doubts. His early months were electric, his command of the defence exceptional, and he became a leader in a side that went on to lift the Europa League. Spurs fans dubbed him “Vic,” a sign of both affection and ease, and he repaid them with elite-level performances.

Errors, Pressure, and a Growing Temptation

This season has been tougher. Two errors leading to goals, one against Brighton and the recent one against Fulham, have skewed the perception of a goalkeeper who still boasts numbers comparable to the division’s best. The Gazzetta report contextualises it clearly, stating that he has “fewer, in the same period, than Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez, Everton’s Jordan Pickford or Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez,” the same tally as Alisson and Raya.

Still, atmospheres shift quickly. Vicario posted, “I take full responsibility for the second goal we conceded… now more than ever, it’s time to work even harder,” but the lingering hostility has left him wondering whether staying is worth it. With Inter expressing interest and the lure of Serie A growing, Spurs face the possibility of losing one of their most reliable performers.

For Spurs supporters, this story lands heavily because it reflects issues far deeper than a goalkeeper’s mistake. Fans will look at Vicario’s situation and see a club struggling for identity under Thomas Frank. The reaction to the Fulham error feels like displaced frustration linked to wider concerns. Supporters know Vicario has saved Tottenham countless times, and many will feel the booing was a harsh response for someone who has stood tall since arriving in 2023.

There is also a fear of history repeating. Tottenham have often lost key figures after periods of instability, and Inter’s interest only heightens the anxiety. A fan reading the Gazzetta piece might say, “If we lose Vic now, it sends the wrong message about where this project is heading,” because goalkeepers of his calibre are not easily replaced.

Others will focus on the human element. Vicario has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and his message after the Fulham defeat showed accountability and commitment. The worry is that the negative environment could push away a player who genuinely cares. Supporters are likely to question whether the club are doing enough to protect him and whether the tactical setup is placing unnecessary pressure on the goalkeeper.

From a competitive standpoint, losing him to Inter would be a major setback. Fans would argue that, even with the odd error, his shot stopping, leadership, and professionalism remain essential. Many will hope this speculation acts as a wake up call for Spurs to stabilise performances and rebuild trust between players and fans.
