Even though he resigned as managing director of football, Fabio Paratici is still a powerful person at Tottenham Hotspur, especially when it comes to transfers.
According to Matt Law of The Telegraph, despite the recent additions of Scott Munn and Johan Lange to important roles, the Spurs will still confer with Paratici on transfers during the current window.
Spurs signed Paratici in 2021, but his stay was short-lived as he left the team over accusations of financial misconduct while he was at Juventus. FIFA banned him for 30 months, which affected his participation in football all over the world.
Ever since his resignation, Paratici has attended Tottenham matches on a regular basis. He usually sits in a corporate box inside the stadium.
In the summer transfer window of last year, before Munn and Lange took on their new positions, the report claims that Paratici offered Tottenham consulting services.
Additionally, the report suggests that Tottenham is still using the Italian on an as-needed basis as a consultant, and that Tottenham will keep using him in this capacity during the January transfer window.
With 11 years of experience as a sporting director at Juventus, Paratici has a solid network in the Italian football scene.
He was instrumental in the recent addition of left-back Destiny Udogie, who has been a tremendous asset to Spurs.
Paratici was instrumental in bringing players like Dejan Kulisevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero, and Pape Matar Sarr to the club. They have all established themselves as vital members of Postecoglou’s squad.
Alasdair Gold has reported that Fabio Paratici has an impact on Spurs’ efforts to sign center-back Radu Dragusin.
Acute and great Suggestions said by TBH:
tottenham hotspur supporters will be happy to hear that Paratici is still involved in the transfer process, given the recent success of some of his acquisitions.
