‘I don’t know when he sleeps’: the workaholic world of Fabio Paratici

[mawspurs]

To understand the type of character Tottenham have hired in Fabio Paratici it helps to turn back the clock to 2013. The man appointed by Spurs last month as their managing director of football was then in a similar role at Juventus and he had the signing of Carlos Tevez in his sights.

Tevez was with Manchester City and when Paratici decided the moment had come to buy him he devised a plan: a secret meeting with the striker was arranged at a London restaurant opened specially for him at 1am. Paratici can accurately be described as an inventive workaholic utterly determined in his pursuit of success.

This section has me sold on Paratici….

Ribalta reveals Paratici’s mentality in negotiations. “I learned an important rule: if you like a player and you consider him important, you can pay a little more than the market price because you have to buy this guy. This can only happen if you are convinced of the player’s skills and potential. If you see a top talent and are sure of him, you cannot lose him for a few million: pay and move on.”

This is standout piece for me is this...over the last few years, according to rumours at the time, didn't we miss out on the likes of Fernandes, Diaz and Dybala due to Levy not willing to stump up the extra £5m or so?

Either way, Paratici certainly seems to be linked with some exciting players so fingers crossed we start to see some signings soon and him continue this work ethic going forward
