A new report has shed light on Vinai Venkatesham’s stance on bringing Fabio Paratici back to Tottenham Hotspur.
It has emerged over recent days that Paratici remains keen on taking a full-time role as the head of recruitment at Tottenham, despite Daniel Levy’s exit.
It was explained that Paratici, who recently accepted a suspended criminal sentence due to his alleged involvement in Juventus’ capital gains scandal, had agreed with Levy that he would take up an official role.
He is now waiting for the new Tottenham leadership to reach out to him, with Vinai Venkatesham set to make the final decision on whether to appoint the Italian on a permanent basis.

How is Fabio Paratici’s relationship with Vinai Venkatesham?
TBR Football also spoke to journalist Graeme Bailey, who revealed that Paratici and Venkatesham get on well together.
He explained that the Spurs CEO recognises the Italian’s talents in the transfer market and is pushing the Lewis family to appoint him.
Bailey told TBR Football: “Paratici was very close to Daniel Levy and when he left, he was not thinking that he would still possibly return to Spurs but the club have reached out to him – they know the players he has brought in and Vinai Venkatesham recognises that fact, they know he is one of the best in football at what he does.
“But a big part is that Venkatesham and Paratici, during the Levy days, actually get on really well – they respect each other and Venkatesham feels they could work together very successfully.
