Vicario's Dinner with Inter and Juventus Stars Fuels Transfer Talk
Italian national team players enjoyed a relaxing Friday evening following a training session at Coverciano and their 2-0 victory against Northern Ireland in a World Cup play-off semi-final. Coach Gennaro Gattuso granted his squad a night off, leading to some notable social gatherings.
Among those spotted was Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who, despite recently undergoing hernia surgery, had joined his national teammates. He was seen dining with a group of prominent Serie A players, including Inter stars Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella, Alessandro Bastoni, and Francesco Pio Esposito, as well as Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli. Photos of the players with the restaurant owner quickly spread on social media.
This private dinner has significantly intensified transfer speculation surrounding Vicario. Reports have long suggested that he is Inter's top target for their goalkeeping position next season. Adding to the intrigue, Tuttosport recently reported that Juventus has also initiated preliminary talks with Vicario's representatives.
Vicario's decision to join the national team in Coverciano, despite being unavailable to play due to his surgery, highlights his dedication amidst ongoing interest from Italy's top clubs.
