Vicario on Juventus move: ‘A lifelong dream, waiting for this moment since I was a child’

Vicario on Juventus move: ‘A lifelong dream, waiting for this moment since I was a child’ Guglielmo Vicario has given his first interview as a Juventus player, speaking shortly after his loan move from Tottenham was completed on Tuesday , and the emotion of the moment was clear from the outset. Speaking to the club’s official channels, with quotes via AlfredoPedulla.com , the goalkeeper struggled to contain himself when discussing the switch. “The emotion is really huge, because it’s a bit of a lifelong dream.” He went on to explain just how long he’d waited for this moment, tracing it back to childhood. “Ever since I was a child I’ve dreamed of and hoped for this moment, though of course you never have any certainty you’ll actually manage it, so I’m extremely proud of myself, and for my family, for having got there.” Vicario signs for Juventus (Source- juventus.com) Vicario: representing Juventus is ‘the absolute maximum you could ask of life’ Asked what the move meant to him in career terms, Vicario didn’t hold back on the scale of the achievement: “Having the opportunity to represent Juventus is the absolute maximum you could ask of life in terms of ambition.” He was equally candid about the weight that comes with the shirt, framing it as something he embraces rather than fears: “representing these colours, this club, this history is a huge sense of responsibility that I’m absolutely glad to take on, and I feel it right from the heart.” Vicario closed by admitting the whole situation still hadn’t fully sunk in: “it’s something I’m still struggling to take in, but I’m extremely happy.” Vicario’s arrival ends a goalkeeping saga that stretched across much of Juventus’ summer, with Luciano Spalletti’s side having pursued both Alisson Becker and Emiliano Martinez before settling on the Italy international. A product of Udinese’s youth ranks, he built his reputation through spells at Venezia, Perugia, Cagliari and Empoli, racking up 69 Serie A appearances before his 2023 move to Tottenham, where he made 117 appearances and won the Europa League.
