Tottenham Hotspur’s former managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, could find himself back in court again soon regarding his time at Juventus and potential capital gains and wage manipulation (Football London).
Paratici has not been involved with Spurs in a full-time or official capacity since April 2023, when he resigned from his position as managing director of football amidst investigations into his time at Juventus.
He was eventually handed a 30-month ban by the Italian football federation, which was extended to a worldwide ban by FIFA, punishing him for his alleged role in Juventus’ potential balance sheet fixing.
Even after this worldwide ban, FIFA lifted certain restrictions to allow Paratici to work for Tottenham behind the scenes as a consultant.
This is why reports have continued to link Paratici with Tottenham’s transfer business this summer. Football Insider reported that Spurs entrusted their search for a new number nine to Paratici, for example.
Paratici could be in trouble once more back in Italy due to the current Prisma investigation, which is looking into alleged capital gains and suspicious activity relating to footballer salaries at Juventus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paratici could now face a fresh trial after an indictment request was submitted by prosecutors, alongside other former Juventus figures like Andrea Agnelli, Pavel Nedved, and Maurizio Arrivabene.
Football London add that: ‘Reports suggest that there has also been separation ordered for two counts when it comes to Paratici as at that time he was no longer part of Juventus as he had moved on to Tottenham.’
Spurs Web Opinion:
With Johan Lange now filling the permanent role of managing director of football, I expect Tottenham to cut ties with Paratici completely.
He did some great work for the club, particularly in the Italian market, but there comes a point where you have to move on and find something a little more stable.
