Tottenham Hotspur might be looking to shake up their goalkeeping situation this summer, with reports suggesting they're considering a swap deal involving Napoli's Vanja Milinković-Savić and Spurs' own Guglielmo Vicario.
Italian outlet Il Napoli Online indicates that Napoli is gearing up to open talks with Tottenham about bringing the Serbian goalkeeper to London. The plan appears to be a direct exchange, with Guglielmo Vicario heading back to Italy as Milinković-Savić's replacement at Napoli.
Reputable journalist Ciro Venerato has weighed in, confirming that a swap between the two goalkeepers is on the table. While Vicario hasn't exactly set the Premier League alight since his move to Spurs, the club might be open to moving him on, especially if it means securing a new shot-stopper.
Milinković-Savić hasn't been a consistent starter for Napoli either, making a swap deal potentially a win-win. Vicario could reignite his career in Serie A, while the Serbian keeper could get a fresh start and test his skills in the demanding Premier League. Even with the current first-choice keeper at Tottenham, adding depth and competition with a player like the 29-year-old Milinković-Savić could be a smart move, especially if it's a straight swap that saves cash.
For Milinković-Savić, a move to Tottenham would represent an exciting career step. At the prime of his playing career, stepping into the Premier League could be the perfect challenge. The big question will be whether he can challenge for the starting position and prove himself as Tottenham's number one next season.
