Fabio Paratici has directly spoken to Rodrygo about signing for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur have plenty of work to do with a month to go in the transfer window.
Indeed, while Spurs have signed Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso this summer, those sorts of deals may not be enough to propel a team that finished 17th last season to glory.
Luckily, Tottenham have their eyes on a few other exciting targets.
Rodrygo has been linked to Spurs in recent times, and according to Ben Jacobs, speaking on We Are Tottenham TV, Fabio Paratici has actually been involved in these negotiations.
Fabio Paratici has led Rodrygo to Tottenham talks
According to Jacobs, Fabio Paratici is the man who has initiated the talks between Rodrygo and Tottenham.
Paratici isn’t officially employed by Spurs at the moment after serving a ban from football, but the Italian is still involved at Spurs on a consultancy basis, and he’s involved in these Rodrygo talks.
“When Rodrygo makes up his mind he’ll understand who actually wants him and who doesn’t,” Jacobs said.
“The only conversation that has taken place between the Rodrygo camp and somebody connected to Tottenham is via Fabio Paratici. Not Daniel Levy, nobody who is at the moment a full-time staff member. I don’t see this one developing, the player may prove to be open to the Premier League, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
Tottenham’s business with Real Madrid
Jacobs says that he doesn’t see Rodrygo signing for Tottenham, but this is a deal that isn’t all that unrealistic.
Yes, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League last season and Rodrygo wants to play at the highest level, but, Tottenham may have an ace in the hole here.
Indeed, Daniel Levy has always maintained a strong relationship with Real Madrid over the years, as the two teams have done plenty of business in the past.
Madrid and Spurs do like to trade players, and if Rodrygo is looking for a new home, potentially in the Premier League this summer, this is an avenue that could well open up for the Brazilian.
