Tottenham Hotspur will finish in the second half of the Premier League table after an atrocious domestic campaign.
The summer transfer window is crucial for the club as it looks to reinforce this squad and upgrade several areas.
Spurs could use additions in midfield, defence, and attack. Besides, Tottenham must be savvy in the market, with purse strings tightening.
Unsurprisingly, the club wants a capable hand to spearhead this summer rebuild, and Spurs could be close to landing their man.
Fabio Paratici is preparing for a dramatic return to Tottenham as sporting director. Per reports from Italy, the hypothesis of a return to Spurs is increasingly strong.
The former Juventus chief had been in talks with AC Milan earlier this year, but TMW now claims Paratici is preparing to rejoin Spurs and lead the club’s transfer strategy once again.
Paratici left his role in North London last year after being handed a worldwide ban by the FIGC over financial irregularities during his time in Italy.
That suspension is due to expire on July 20, and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly wasting no time in bringing the 52-year-old back to the club.
Tottenham should show more ambition with their sporting director pick – View
Paratici is a seasoned operator, but Tottenham should have moved past him.
This period is a chance for the club to scour through the market and bring in one of the best to handle this summer rebuild.
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos is reportedly looking for a new stomping ground, and Tottenham should be all over him.
Inter Milan director Giuseppe Marotta built a top squad for Simone Inzaghi with meagre transfer funds. He should be an option.
With these elite names there for the taking, it is underwhelming that Tottenham continue to push for a Paratici return.
Spurs fans have waited long enough for a modern, ambitious reset. Settling for yesterday’s man may prove to be a costly compromise.
