Vicario becomes indispensable for Juventus while tracking Palmisani

Guglielmo Vicario's influence at Juventus is clearly on the rise. As the only Juventus player currently in Italy's national squad, his standing under Luciano Spalletti has improved significantly. With Grabara unavailable, Vicario is expected to see increased playing time to solidify his position.

The goalkeeper has already made five league appearances this season, conceding four goals. Following a 2024-25 campaign hampered by an inguinal hernia and subsequent surgery, his strong start—highlighted by two crucial saves against Parma—suggests he is back to full fitness.

Despite his current form, Vicario's long-term future at the club remains a point of focus. Under the terms of his agreement with Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus hold an option to acquire him permanently for 8 million euros, with potential add-ons. The coming months will be crucial for the player to earn a permanent stay.

Simultaneously, Juventus are exploring future options in the goalkeeper market. They are tracking Frosinone's 2004-born talent, Lorenzo Palmisani. The club is considering a deal structure similar to the one that brought Federico Gatti to Turin: a permanent signing in January followed by a loan back to Frosinone until the summer.
