Sporting director Fabio Paratici admires Leicester City’s playmaker James Maddison and there is interest from Tottenham Hotspur in signing him.
According to a Football London report, Paratici continues to work with Tottenham as a consultant.
FIFA has recently lifted part of Paratici’s 30-month ban following investigations into Italian club Juventus.
This decision allows the Italian to help Tottenham pursue some of their top summer targets.
Manager Ange Postecoglou will officially begin his new role at Tottenham in a few days.
After his successful tenure at Celtic, he has a lot of work ahead of him in North London to improve Tottenham’s situation.
A new goalkeeper seems to be on the horizon, as Guglielmo Vicario is expected to sign from Empoli.
Tottenham has also identified James Maddison as a primary target, and Paratici is a huge admirer of the 26-year-old.
Newcastle United is also interested in the £110k-a-week playmaker.
Spurs hope that Paratici’s influence may help them secure the English international’s signing.
Paratici’s Strong Interest in Maddison Amid Tottenham’s Pursuit
The Football London report states that Paratici is ‘assisting’ Tottenham in their summer rebuilding plans.
While working with Antonio Conte, the sporting director has been instrumental in building the current squad.
Postecoglou’s preferred players differ significantly from Conte’s due to their contrasting styles of play.
The report mentions that Postecoglou, Tottenham chief Daniel Levy, and Paratici are all big fans of Maddison.
Leicester values Maddison at £60m, but Spurs seem reluctant to meet this price.
Tottenham lacks an attacking midfielder with Maddison’s skills in their current squad.
In a struggling Leicester side, he managed to impress and eventually earned a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Maddison is aware that he must leave Leicester and avoid playing in the Championship to maintain his international aspirations.
The situations at Tottenham and Newcastle differ significantly at present.
Maddison faces a tough choice, and Spurs are hoping that Paratici’s influence can convince him to join their team in North London.
