According to Goal, Fabio Paratici has rejected offers from teams in France, Italy and Spain in favour of joining Tottenham Hotspur instead.
Paratici left his position as sporting director at Juventus at the end of the season, seeking a new challenge after 11 years with the club.
The 48-year-old doesn’t have to wait long for a new opportunity, as a move to Tottenham is now drawing ever closer.
Who has Paratici rejected for Tottenham?
It’s stated that teams in France, Italy and Spain all wanted to land Paratici, but he hwas rejected them all in favour of Tottenham.
You would have to assume that Paris Saint-Germain are one of the teams to miss out; AS reported last week that contact had been with Paratici over replacing Leonardo in the sporting director role.
Paratici has wanted to go to England for a while now though, and that’s why he has chosen Tottenham over other clubs.
When will Paratici join Tottenham, and will he impact their managerial search?
Paratici is expected to land in London ‘in the next few days’, and will sign his contract to become Tottenham’s new sporting director.
The report adds that Paratici will appoint the next Tottenham manager having missed out on Antonio Conte.
Daniel Levy personally pushed for Paratici to arrive, and he may now be the man holding the power in the hunt for a new boss.
