In 2023, the Premier League saw a record-breaking £2.36 billion spent on transfer fees. This highlights the financial stakes involved in recruitment decisions, which Paratici could oversee if he returns officially (Statista).
Potential Future Roles
The journalist also indicated that Levy has already successfully fended off competition from other Premier League teams, Serie A clubs, and sides within the Saudi Pro League to retain Paratici’s services. It’s widely believed that the 52-year-old will resume his official role at Tottenham.
Further discussions about a long-term contract are anticipated following the transfer window. The potential return of Paratici could also impact Johan Lange’s role as technical director.
