Not Just Vicario: Juventus Reportedly Keen on Another Goalkeeper Signing

Football Italia·August 19, 2026
Juventus appear determined to make goalkeepers the story of their summer transfer window. According to Football Italia, even the capture of Guglielmo Vicario may not be the final word on the matter, with reports in Italy claiming the Bianconeri could still move for another shot-stopper before the market shuts. Vicario's expected arrival in Turin would represent a major statement of intent. The goalkeeper rose to prominence at Empoli with his sharp reflexes, brave sweeping and composed distribution, before heading to the Premier League with Tottenham, where he won plenty of admirers despite a serious ankle injury that disrupted his time in England. Now seemingly set for a return to Serie A, he would bring top-level experience to a position Juventus have been eager to solidify. Yet, as Football Italia report, the club's hierarchy are seemingly not convinced that one high-profile addition between the posts is enough. The suggestion is that Juventus could still pursue a second goalkeeper, whether as cover, competition, or insurance against the uncertainty surrounding the futures of those already on the books. A new face would sharpen the intensity of every training session and ensure nobody can afford even a brief dip in form. The timing adds an extra layer of intrigue. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the fixture calendar is more demanding than ever, and the margins between success and failure will be razor thin. Vicario's own injury troubles in England served as a stark reminder that even the most reliable keepers can be sidelined for months, and a club of Juventus's ambition cannot afford to be caught short. For any Italian goalkeeper involved, regular minutes at club level could also prove decisive in the fight for international recognition ahead of football's showpiece event in North America. Whether the next arrival, if it materialises, is a seasoned deputy content to support Vicario or a genuine challenger for the starting role will say plenty about the direction Juventus are heading. Either way, the message coming out of Turin is clear: the goalkeeping overhaul is far from finished, and the battle for the number one shirt is about to heat up. Source: Football Italia
