Former Tottenham Hotspur managing director Fabio Paratici is in advanced talks to return to the club, talkSPORT understands.
Paratici was forced to step down in April 2023 after being hit with a worldwide ban by FIFA after being found guilty of false accounting while at former club Juventus.
That ban ends on July 1 and several sources have told talkSPORT that discussions are at an advanced stage for the Italian chief to return to Spurs – although nothing is signed yet.
Current sporting director Johan Lange is expected to stay to work with Paratici, who would have a major say in manager Ange Postecoglou’s future.
Spurs could part company with Postecoglou even if they win the Europa League.
The north London outfit have one foot in the final following their 3-1 semi-final first leg victory over Norwegian opponents Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.
Tottenham declined to comment when approached regarding Paratici’s possible return.
And sources close to the club maintain Paratici’s connection is unchanged for now, despite multiple visits to games since March.
Paratici is likely to start this summer should a full agreement be reached.
