Tottenham Hotspur have identified Lazio Sporting Director Igli Tare as a potential replacement for Fabio Paratici, according to CMW.
Lazio’s Igli Tare linked with replacing Fabio Paratici at Tottenham Hotspur
The Italian news outlet has claimed that Tottenham are looking at potential replacements for Paratici, who is courting controversy at the moment.
As reported by The Mirror, Paratici has been handed a 30-month ban from Italian football for his involvement in alleged financial irregularities and false accounting at Juventus.
The 50-year-old Italian is the Managing Director of Football at Tottenham at the moment.
The Mirror have claimed that although Paratici”s ‘two-and-a-half-year ban applies only to Italian football’, under Fifa’s regulations, ‘a national association can apply to extend a ban outside its own country’.
Juventus have reportedly begun the process of appealing against the court’s decision, but if the former Serie A and UEFA Champions League winners fail in their appeal, then there is a chance that Paratici could face a worldwide ban, according to the report.
The Mirror have claimed that Tottenham could move for Benfica talent spotter Rui Pedro Braz if Fabio Paratici is hit with a worldwide ban, while CMW are reporting that the Premier League club are looking at 49-year-old former Albania international forward Tare, who has yet to renew his current contract with Lazio.
Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 39 points from 23 matches, while Lazio currently find themselves sixth in Serie A with 39 points from 22 games.
