According to reporting from The Press Association, Fabio Paratici will exit the north London club at the end of the winter transfer window, with a return to Italy to join Serie A side Fiorentina widely anticipated.
Paratici rejoined Tottenham in October, having previously departed following allegations of false accounting during his time at Juventus.
He was handed a 30-month ban by FIFA but continued to work in a consultancy role for Spurs before officially returning earlier this season.
Thomas Frank, who has addressed questions about Paratici’s future amid ongoing speculation, said: "We're paying his wage, he's working very hard.
Paratici' latest spell at the club now appears set to be short-lived.
Recent decisions have fuelled speculation about Paratici’s next move.
Tottenham recalled Manor Solomon from an unproductive loan spell at Villarreal and subsequently sent him to Fiorentina – a move that raised eyebrows given the persistent rumours surrounding Paratici.
Despite the uncertainty, Tottenham are expected to remain active in the transfer market before the window closes.
According to The Press Association, Spurs are expected to complete the signing of Santos left-back Souza in the coming days, with Paratici tasked with delivering more targets in January.
His latest exit comes amid mounting pressure across the club, particularly following recent results.
Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup saw them exit the competition at the third-round stage.
The result, coupled with a disappointing run of form, has intensified scrutiny of Frank.
Fan group Change for Tottenham on Sunday announced plans to protest before Saturday’s home match against West Ham.
In a statement, the group said: "There is growing frustration within the fan base surrounding the board’s transfer strategy, clarity on the Director of Football role, our continuous injury crises season after season, recent results/performances on the pitch and extortionate ticket prices.
"We believe acting now will hopefully mean our voices are heard at such a pivotal time during the January transfer window."
