Despite a total restructure behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur over the last 12 months, Alasdair Gold has admitted he would be ‘stunned’ if Fabio Paratici was not still feeding the club at least a bit of advice in the transfer market.
Fabio Paratici left Tottenham in 2023
Paratici has not been employed by Tottenham on a full-time basis since receiving a global ban from football last April, after being found guilty of involvement in Juventus’ financial scandal.
Since then, that ban has been altered and certain restrictions lifted, allowing Paratici to act on a consultancy basis — something he did with Spurs last summer.
The Italian is thought to have been involved in the acquisitions of Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario, while he was instrumental in earlier signings of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, and Rodrigo Bentancur, too.
Is Fabio Paratici still involved with Spurs?
Now, Spurs have the likes of Johan Lange and Scott Munn overseeing recruitment at the club, but is Paratici still involved? Alasdair Gold thinks he could be, as he explained in a recent instalment of The Last Word on Spurs.
He said: “I would be stunned if there is still not a little bit of advice coming his way to Spurs and [Daniel] Levy at times.
“But… for the whole idea and the sanctity of this new recruitment team, hopefully, he’s not as involved as he was in that first window under Ange as he had to be.”
Gold added: “Like I say, I would be stunned if he’s not still making the odd recommendation of stuff because he had Levy’s ear and, to be fair to him, there weren’t many misses under his tenure either.
“So I guess when you get someone you kind of trust in that market in terms of recommendations, you’ll probably keep listening to them.”
Spurs Web Opinion
As long as Paratici isn’t getting in the way and treading on toes, I don’t think it hurts to have someone like him on the peripheries of the club, giving advice when needed.
