Is Paratici set for Spurs return?
Vinai Venkatesham, the former Arsenal chief executive, is joining the club before next season in the same position he vacated at Emirates Stadium. Similarly, a potential return of former managing director of football Fabio Paratici is an ongoing process. BBC Sport understands machinations towards Paratici's possible comeback are in motion, though sources close to the situation have expressed caution by insisting a full agreement for the Italian's return is yet to be finalised and may take a while longer to be reached. There is a sense, however, that a deal with a view to appointing Paratici to the club's new-look executive team is achievable. Paratici, having first joined Spurs 2021, left the club in 2023 after an appeal against a two-and-a-half-year Fifa ban for alleged financial irregularities dating back to his spell at Juventus was rejected by Italy's highest sports court. Despite the suspension, Paratici - who held talks with AC Milan in recent weeks - has remained a constant at Tottenham, working for the club in an unofficial consultancy capacity. The Italian has also been a regular at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since his ban was enforced in spring 2023. Paratici's suspension is due to expire in July, which could pave the way for his return if discussions are successful. Read more on summer changes at Tottenham

FIGC President denies pressure on Milan to drop Paratici
FIGC President denies pressure on Milan to drop Paratici FIGC President Gabriele Gravina denies putting pressure on Milan, forcing the Rossoneri to drop Fabio Paratici: 'He can't operate, but no rule prevents him from being put under contract.'

Advertisement The ex-Juventus director is serving a 30-month ban ending on July 20, but had reached a verbal agreement to become the Milan sporting director in 2025-26.

Absolutely not,' Gravina said on Wednesday via FIGC President denies pressure on Milan to drop Paratici 'Milan or anyone else can get Paratici who, as well know, is not allowed to operate until July 2025. He can't operate, but no rule prevents him from being put under contract.'
