Serie A giants Inter Milan have earmarked Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as a top target to replace the outgoing Yann Sommer.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the runaway leaders are facing one obstacle in their pursuit of the Italian star.
Yann Sommer will wave goodbye to San Siro at the end of the season.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri have already decided not to renew the 37-year-old’s expiring contract.
Therefore, they’re in the market for a new shot-stopper, with Guglielmo Vicario emerging as a leading candidate to fill the void.
Inter Milan Face One Roadblock in Pursuit of Guglielmo Vicario
Vicario’s future in North London is hanging in the balance amid Spurs’ calamitous Premier League season.
Fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation, new boss Igor Tudor is reportedly considering benching the former Empoli man.
However, Vicario’s contract runs out in 2028, which puts Tottenham in a decent bargaining position heading into the summer.
Still, losing the Premier League status would be a game-changer, as Spurs may not be able to play hardball in case they suffer relegation.
Nevertheless, they’re reportedly asking for around €30 million to sanction the 29-year-old’s exit, a figure Inter may not be willing to spend.
The real obstacle that we have been facing recently in the pursuit of any player above the level of mediocrity, has been the lack of money. Either because we are completely broke (one thing that has never been completely clarified to the public) or because our owners are cheap and stingy. Or possibly, both!
We were very close to be broke. We used alot of last year income to refinance the debt.
Truth is only juventus is really generating alot of money in Italy.
Oaktree only wants to fix Inter’s balance sheets to sell us, it’s what they do. They buy companies in troubles, fix some of their problems (restructure) and sell.
I’m really surprised that so few people know what oaktree really is and what they do.
I think oaktree is just stingy and trying to build a finanical statement that has really good profit margins (basically just want to make a lot of revenue and not spend that much). The whole point of refinancing is to save money, it does cost some upfront but overall you’ll save money. That’s the whole point of refinancing’s (once again this makes the statements look better)
