New transfer market backstory revealed by Fabrizio Romano about Inter. The well-known journalist, in his latest video posted on his Youtube channel, revealed a deal that the Nerazzurri club had practically finalized during the summer of 2023, but for a very specific reason was unable to complete within the expected timeframe.
The name of the player in question is Guglielmo Vicario, a goalkeeper whom Inter had in their grasp before his permanent transfer from Empoli to Tottenham. As explained by Romano, what blocked his move to Milan were the excessively long timelines related to the sale of André Onana to Manchester United, which was finalized a few weeks late.
This is the backstory on Vicario, who has come back into fashion in these hours on the Inter transfer market: “Vicario was practically an Inter player, blocked from the point of view of a verbal agreement before he went to Tottenham. What happened is that Inter was waiting to sell Onana for financial fair play reasons, Vicario and Empoli waited. Then Tottenham arrived, Inter still hadn’t sold Onana to Manchester United, at that point the deal fell through and Tottenham closed the deal.”
