What happened. Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti admitted he still doesn't know why Guglielmo Vicario lost his No.1 spot at Tottenham, as the goalkeeper is set to join Juventus on an initial loan with a buy-option.

• Spalletti said Vicario was one of their targets and he's satisfied.
• The move dragged on due to normal signing process situations.
• Spalletti worked with Vicario during his Italy tenure.

“Vicario? I’m satisfied; he was one of those we had in our sights.”

— Luciano Spalletti
