Is Paratici set for Spurs return?
- Published
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.
