Vicario is a 26-year-old Italian who is likely to be available for under £20m. He made 32 appearances in Serie A this season as Empoli finished 14th.
Spurs want to sign a new No1 and had identified Raya as their top target to replace Hugo Lloris, who is expected to leave the club this summer.
They have been in talks over a deal for Raya, who has one year left on his contract at Brentford, but are reluctant to meet his asking price.
Tottenham are seeking a long-term replacement for captain Lloris.
The 36-year-old French goalkeeper still has one year left on his contract but says he is seeking a new challenge after 11 years and more than 400 appearances for the club.
