Fabio Paratici is reportedly all set to leave Tottenham Hotspur after the January transfer window to join Serie A club Fiorentina.
A report from The Athletic has claimed that Fabio Paratici will return to Italy with Fiorentina due to personal reasons.
The Italian recently returned to Tottenham after his ban, and he was expected to continue at the North London club and help build a formidable team for the future. However, Paratici has decided to return to Italy, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can bring in a quality alternative.
Spurs need an experienced sporting director like him. Thomas Frank has a talented team at his disposal, but they will need more quality if they want to compete at the highest level. Tottenham started the season well, but they have faded away in recent weeks.
The North London outfit are struggling right now, and they are in mid-table positions. A club of their stature should be pushing for a place in the top four every season. They need the right players to compete regularly.
Paratici could have been useful for Spurs
Paratici has helped Spurs sign quality players in the past, and he could have been a valuable presence in the club. It remains to be seen how they fill the void left by him. The North Londoners changed managers at the start of the season, and Thomas Frank is under significant pressure as well.
The Danish manager has not been able to get the best out of his team, and Tottenham have underperformed this season. Spurs managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season, but they are still very much in the midst of a rebuilding period. They could have used Paratici’s expertise and experience.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina are fighting for survival in Serie A. Appointing a quality director like him could help turn things around for them in the near future. He will look to help them put together a competitive team.
Tottenham need additions during the January transfer window if they want to bounce back strongly during the second half of the season. They should look to add more depth to the attacking unit and the midfield. It will be interesting to see if Paratici can help them land a couple of quality players before leaving next month.
