Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has made a significant decision regarding future transfer dealings involving the Premier League side.
The North Londoners have experienced a difficult summer transfer window to date and with less than a week to go before it shuts, the pressure is firmly on the club’s hierarchy to deliver some quality signings to bolster the Tottenham first-team squad until January at the very least.
Following James Maddison’s ACL injury, Tottenham have failed to recruit a number 10 with deals for Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze both having ended in embarrassing fashion for the Europa League champions.
Como’s Nico Paz has snubbed a move to Tottenham with the Argentine said to be holding out for a move back to Real Madrid next season.
Fabio Paratici is to officially return to Tottenham
Fabio Paratici was forced to step down from his role of managing director of football at Tottenham after losing an appeal in Italy against his 30-month ban from the game in April 2023.
The two-and-a-half year ban, preventing Paratici from involving himself in football-related activites, originally came after he was implicated in alleged financial irregularities while in a similar role at Juventus.
Despite the suspension, Paratici, who held talks with AC Milan earlier this year has remained a presence at Tottenham, working for the club in an unofficial consultancy capacity.
Paratici’s current consultancy role is set to run until the end of August, with his worldwide ban set to come to an end.
GiveMeSport are reporting that Paratici will return now be given an official role once more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which will see the Italian responsible for all transfer matters, once the current window has closed.
Could Paratici’s return spell the end for Johan Lange?
It remains to be seen whether the decision to hand Paratici transfer responsibility could see Johan Lange heading for the exit in N17.
Paratici made some top signings at Tottenham during his first stint which included the arrivals of Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pedro Porro, however, there were some flops such as Bryan Gil, Pierluigi Gollini and Emerson Royal.
Tottenham have struggled to get further signings late in the window over the line despite having been linked with the likes of Manchester City’s Savinho and Monaco starlet Maghnes Akliouche.
