Juventus accelerates move for Vicario over Martinez finger injury concerns

According to Italian Sky Sports journalist Di Marzio, Juventus is accelerating its search for a new starting goalkeeper, changing direction from original target Emiliano Martinez. The club is concerned about Martinez's long-standing finger injury, despite a recent examination ruling out immediate surgery. Juventus is unwilling to take risks on potential future surgery. As a result, they have strongly pushed forward for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, a name that has remained on their list. Transfer conditions have become more favorable, and dialogue between Juventus and Tottenham has notably accelerated. The deal is now in its most critical phase, with the transfer hotline between Turin and London becoming increasingly active and moving toward a final conclusion.
