Upcoming transfer window could be an exciting one for Tottenham with Paratici expected to play a key role

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for the upcoming transfer window, with potential signings on their radar.

Fabio Paratici, the former managing director of Spurs, remains instrumental behind the scenes in the club’s transfer operations.

The Lilywhites have been consistently seeking advice from Paratici, leveraging his strong connections in the Italian football market and relying on his recommendations of talents from Serie A.

Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson highlights Paratici’s significant influence on the club, even without an official title, suggesting that his presence boosts the club.

Paratici’s association with Spurs dates back to 2021 when he joined the English club as the managing director of football.

However, in April of the previous year, he resigned amid allegations of financial misconduct during his time at Juventus. As a result, the Italian Football Federation imposed a 30-month ban, which FIFA extended globally.

Although the ban doesn’t prevent consultancy duties, Tottenham has taken advantage of the situation by involving him in an unofficial capacity.

During Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Robinson emphasized that any potential signings for the club this summer must bolster the current squad.

Robinson emphasised the crucial role of Fabio Paratici, despite his suspension from European football.

He highlighted Paratici’s impressive track record in player acquisitions, pointing to recent signings like Kulusevski and Bentancur, stating:

“Ange has got enough of a relationship now with the supporters and the trust is there.

“I think the big thing for Tottenham is that Paratici is involved still.

“We know that he’s got the suspension in European football, but the relationship he has got with the club and the way that he is with Daniel Levy, working in whatever capacity he is allowed to.

“Look at the players in recent history that Spurs have brought in. They’ve only made the team and the squad better.

“Kulusevski and Bentancur in the winter window, then you look at Vicario and Van de Ven. Look at those types of signings and the players Ange is going to want.

“The conversations that Ange has had with Paratici and with Daniel Levy, you would expect the type of players that come into the Tottenham side to be exciting ones.”

Tottenham are expected to have a very busy transfer window, with lots of players expected to leave the club.

They are also expected to sign a number of players, in particular, a striker, a midfielder, a centre-back.
