52-year-old holds talks with Levy to join Tottenham as "rich offer" readied

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has now reportedly held a meeting with a 52-year-old official over joining the Lilywhites, and it is believed that the club are also ready to make him a significant offer.

Tottenham criticised after lacklustre Premier League campaign

Sitting 14th in the Premier League table, after tasting 15 defeats in the top flight alone this season, Ange Postecoglou’s side have faced backlash from large sections of supporters throughout 2024/2025.

The player is seriously considering his options.

These same sets of fans have also organised protests in relation to the running of their club from ENIC and Levy, with Spurs still yet to win a piece of major silverware since their League Cup triumph in 2008.

Postecoglou is being repeatedly linked with the Tottenham sack as well, and if their form doesn’t pick up, this could well become a reality, with the north Londoners also reliant on a good run in the Europa League to salvage what has been a disastrous campaign overall.

“As long as they’ve got the American Football, and they’ve got Beyonce in the summer, they’re happy, the owners are happy,” said Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp earlier this season.

“It looks like a business model that everyone can be happy with that can be successful. “But does that breed a winning environment? No it does not because something is fundamentally wrong. They have tried to do both, but it has not worked and it has not worked the way Daniel Levy wants it to.”

Technical director Johan Lange also hasn’t had the desired impact on transfer strategy some might have hoped for, since the Dane took over from ex-managing director Fabio Paratici following the Italian’s resignation.

If Spurs are to become successful, the appointment of a perfect director is imperative, and it is now believed that they could turn back to Paratici.

The 52-year-old is nearing the end of his worldwide ban from football employment, which will expire on June 30, and this has apparently piqued Tottenham’s interest as they seriously consider re-hiring their ex-transfer chief.

Daniel Levy holds Fabio Paratici meeting as Tottenham ready “rich offer”

That is according to Radio Rossonera, who also report that Levy held a meeting with Paratici on Thursday over the prospect of snubbing AC Milan and re-joining Tottenham instead.

Milan were considered overwhelming favourites to hire the Italian, but now Spurs have entered the race for his services as they ponder replacing Lange with their former employee.

As relayed by this report, it is also believed that Tottenham are ready to make Paratici a “rich offer”, but they expect a quick response and won’t wait around.

Paratici was responsible for the signings of Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie and Pape Sarr, who have all played a key role at various points since their arrival at Hotspur Way.

The official also knows the club very well already, and is known to be a tireless worker behind-the-scenes, so perhaps his return would even inspire Tottenham before next season.
