Things seem to be heating up in terms of Tottenham’s search for a new manager, but if reports are to be believed, they may also soon have a new Director of Football on the way in the shape of Fabio Paratici, but who is the Italian and who have been his best signings?
The Italian could be set to reunite with Antonio Conte, who he once worked with at Juventus, and Spurs fans should be excited by the prospect of bringing him in.
Who is Fabio Paratici?
The Italian has held a number of roles at Juventus in recent years such as Sporting Director, Chief Football Officer and Managing Director of the Football Area.
All in all, Paratici has been one of the most important figures at Juventus for the past decade. He’s the man in charge of the transfers in Turin and he’s overseen a lot of success at the Old Lady.
He’s helped Juventus secure league title after league title, and now Spurs apparently want him in as their new Director of Football.
Who have been Fabio Paratici’s best signings?
Of course, Spurs fans will want to know about some of Fabio Paratici’s best signings at Juventus, and it’s fair to say that he’s made a few.
Paratici has done some incredible work in the free agent market. Signing the likes of Sami Khedira, Aaron Ramsey, Emre Can and Adrien Rabiot on frees in recent years, but his best work has come in signing big names.
Matthijs De Ligt was one of the most highly-coveted players in the world back in 2019, and Paratici played a key role in bringing him to Juventus.
However, signings don’t come any bigger or better than Cristiano Ronaldo, and Paratici was pivotal in bringing the Portuguese star to Serie A, dubbing the move to bring Ronaldo to Juve as the ‘signing of the century’ at the time.
Fabio Paratici has made some brilliant signings at Juve, but Ronaldo has to be considered his best.
Is Fabio Paratici coming to Tottenham?
Paratici could be coming to Spurs if reports are to be believed.
Tottenham are apparently keen on him, and if the London club’s early talks with Antonio Conte progress, it may not be long before Paratici joins the north London outfit.
The move hasn’t been confirmed yet, but this is certainly a situation to keep an eye on in the coming days.
