Fabio Paratici is closing in on a sensational return to Tottenham, with the Italian reportedly agreeing terms with Daniel Levy to come back in an official capacity – the Italian is set to have the final say on one major decision at the club.
Fabio Paratici’s future has been doing the rounds, as the former Tottenham sporting director is in search of a new club.
Paratici has been working as a consultant for Spurs over the last two years, since being forced to resign from his role as Tottenham’s managing director of football.
Over recent months, it has been reported that Daniel Levy is trying his best to bring Paratici back to Spurs in an official role, once he completes his FIFA ban on 20 June.
Tottenham’s pursuit of the 52-year-old received a major boost when it emerged at the start of last month that AC Milan’s efforts to appoint Paratici as their sporting director had collapsed.
Once again, another attempt to convince Paratici to sign for AC Milan failed to yield a result after their latest Lake Como meeting, with both parties failing to reach an agreement. It was revealed that the sporting director felt he was somewhat messed around by the Serie A side.

TBR Football have now also revealed that the Italian director is set to have the final say on Spurs’ managerial situation and will decide who will replace Ange Postecoglou if the Australian does depart this summer.
