Spalletti wants Milinkovic-Savic as Juventus and Napoli searches intertwine

A fascinating goalkeeper triangle has emerged between Napoli, Juventus and Tottenham, with Luciano Spalletti’s personal admiration for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic creating a direct link between two clubs who are both rebuilding between the posts this summer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, via IlNapolista, Juventus are monitoring Milinkovic-Savic’s situation at Napoli with genuine interest, the Serbian’s ability with the ball at his feet making him an attractive fit for Spalletti’s system.

Napoli, meanwhile, have decided to sell the goalkeeper after just one season, with Allegri understood to have identified Guglielmo Vicario as his preferred number one for the new era.

Vicario has fallen out of Tottenham’s plans and is available for approximately €15 million, a fee Spurs are willing to negotiate downward given their need to sell.

Both Napoli and Juventus are watching him closely, setting up a direct competition for his signature.

Napoli consider him Allegri’s first choice, while Juventus view him as a more financially viable alternative to their primary target Emiliano Martinez.

The Martinez pursuit has cooled considerably at Juventus in recent weeks, with the cost of the operation considered excessive given the club’s financial constraints.
