Fabio Paratici set for return as Tottenham decision already made
Fabio Paratici will return from his ban soon as a decision on rejoining Tottenham has already been made by the Italian.
The 52-year-old left Spurs in 2023 after he was suspended as part of the investigation into Juventus’ capital gains scandal.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Daniel Levy trying to get Paratici back to the North London outfit after his relative success with transfers.
The Italian chief was pivotal to Tottenham, but his return seems complicated after the latest developments regarding another club.
AC Milan to get Paratici over Tottenham
Paratici is set to snub Tottenham for a role at AC Milan, according to TBR Football.
The news outlet reports (20 March) that the Italian chief has accepted a return to Serie A and will become the Rossoneri’s next sporting director.
| Premier League table (2024/25) | Points |
| 10. Bournemouth | 44 |
| 11. Brentford | 41 |
| 12. Crystal Palace. | 39 |
| 13. Manchester United | 37 |
| 14. Tottenham | 34 |
| 15. Everton | 34 |
It has been claimed that Levy wanted to potentially bring the 52-year-old chief back in a football advisory role, similar to what Luis Campos does at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Tottenham look set to miss out on Paratici, and they will now need to go in a different direction.
Levy needs to make big decisions at Spurs
Fans at Spurs have often criticised Levy for having too much influence on the transfer strategy and overseeing the decline of their prospects.
The North London outfit haven’t enjoyed the best of seasons and could potentially extend their 17-year trophy drought.
Levy hasn’t sacked Ange Postecoglou yet despite the Australian manager’s poor management of the team this season, as they find themselves 14th in the Premier League.
Tottenham have struggled with injuries this season, and the former Celtic boss could arguably be excused for their poor displays.
Levy must shoulder the responsibility, though, after failing to sign reinforcements sooner in the winter transfer window.
Spurs waited until the final days around Deadline Day to bolster their backline with Kevin Danso when it was clearly evident they needed a new defender.
Paratici made some astute signings at Tottenham, especially from Serie A, with the likes of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Guglielmo Vicario.
The North Londoners evidently need someone like him back in the boardroom to make decisions on recruitment going forward.
