The track has cooled for the Italian from Tottenham, now the 32-year-old from Lazio is in the sights, who would also be useful for the lists. The hypothesis linked to Kepa, reserve of the English champions Arsenal, persists
An adopted son has been added to the Ascalone family, William Vicar“seduced and abandoned” by Inter. Like the title of Pietro Germi’s film from the 1960s, a cult that never fades. The goalkeeper of De Zerbi’s Tottenham, fresh from safety just achieved, was for a long time the chosen one by Marotta and Ausilio to take Sommer’s place. The Nerazzurri top brass treated him, looked for him, courted him, even making virtual “agreements” on his future at Appiano, but in the end they said “no thanks, we’re fine like this”. With Martinez as starter.

The Inter goalkeeper who will come will be the Spaniard, promoted to first after two seasons as Yann’s reserve, whose contract expires. The former Genoa player, purchased for 15 million in the summer of 2024 and kept as a reserve for a couple of years, has overcome a bad year, complex on a mental level, conditioned by the road accident in which an eighty-one year old lost his life. Chivu deployed him from the start in all the Coppa Italia matches. Martinez responded by locking the door in the final against Lazio: the intervention of… “face” on Dia in the second half, in the last quarter of an hour, was decisive. His way of thanking the coach’s trust.

Now the question is one: who will be his deputy? There are various ideas on the table. One of these leads to another Spaniard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, 31 years old, reserve of the English champions Arsenal (but this year he has only played 12 games). He is linked to the Gunners for another two seasons. In 2018 Chelsea called Athletic Bilbao, paid 80 million and made him the highest paid goalkeeper in the history of football. “We will look for the right mix between young Italians and experienced foreigners,” confided Marotta. Kepa falls into this category: he won two Champions Leagues as a reserve with Chelsea and Real Madrid, the Europa League as a starter with the Blues and the Nations League with Spain, with whom he played 13 matches. The profile is the right ones. Another idea leads to Ivan Provedel32 years old, at Lazio from 2022. He has always been the starter. This year, at the end, he gave way to the twenty-year-old Motta due to injury. The price is around 3-4 million. It would be useful above all in another way: Ivan was born in Pordenone, Kepa in Ondarroa, in the Basque Country, facing the sea. Question of lists.
