Tottenham want to copy Liverpool’s Alisson tactic by signing £52m star this summer
Tottenham Hotspur are right in the thick of the race to land a player who has emerged as the best in his position across the Serie A over the last 18 months.
Guglielmo Vicario continues to be heavily linked with a return to Italy, with some outlets reporting that the Spurs number one has decided to leave N17 this summer.
The Lilywhites may thus need to enter the market for a new first-choice goalkeeper at the end of the season, and they may turn to the Serie A to solve their problem.
It emerged a couple of days ago that Tottenham are turning their attention to AS Roma’s £52m-rated Mile Svilar, whose stock continues to grow with each passing game.
Tottenham face competition for Mile Svilar’s signature
Svilar was voted the best goalkeeper in the Serie A last year and is on course to retain that award this term.
A new report in Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now confirmed that Spurs are admirers of the Serbian international, but they face competition from two of their rivals.
Both Chelsea and Bournemouth are eyeing Svilar, and the Cherries may have an advantage as their current managing director, Tiago Pinto, was previously Roma’s sporting director.
Additionally, Bayern Munich are also keeping an eye on the 26-year-old goalkeeper’s situation ahead of the summer window.
Fans may remember that Liverpool had great success when it came to investing in a big-money goalkeeper from Roma back in 2018. Alisson Becker may have had a price tag of £67m, but he took the Reds to the next level.
Could Spurs consider a part-exchange deal for Svilar?
Tottenham’s interest in Svilar comes to light at a time when Radu Dragusin continues to be heavily linked with a move to AS Roma.
It has been widely reported that the Giallorossi are big fans of the Tottenham defender and are extremely keen to take him to the Stadio Olimpico.
This potentially presents Spurs with an opportunity to move ahead of the competition for Svilar and lower the cost of the operation by including the Romanian as part of the package.
