Vialli, 58, recently stepped away from his role with the Italian national team to focus on his fight against the illness.
He was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017 before being given the all-clear in 2020.
His cancer returned in 2021, and Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera claim his condition has worsened recently.
Vialli’s mum Maria Teresa, 87, and his brother flew to London to visit him in hospital as he could not travel back for Christmas.
They then returned to their home in Cremona, near Milan.
