Fabio Paratici’s warning to Fiorentina about Tottenham Hotspur is coming true
Fabio Paratici’s proposed move from Tottenham to Fiorentina is turning out to be a lot more complicated than the Serie A club expected.
It has now been reported by the Italian press for a week and a half that an announcement on Paratici’s Tottenham exit is expected soon, but there has been no such development.
The Spurs sporting director had agreed a contract to become Fiorentina’s head of football last week, but he still has not officially completed the move.
Some Italian outlets suggested that Paratici was due in Florence on Monday to sign for La Viola, but it turns out that the deal is not proving easy.
Fiorentina finding negotiations with Spurs complicated
It has now been revealed by Corriere Fiorentino (as relayed by Sport Witness) that the Serie A club are finding it difficult to strike a quick deal with Spurs.
Paratici still has two years left on his contract in North London, which means that the Italian club have to pay compensation to the Premier League side.
The report says that it is requiring a lot of patience on Fiorentina’s part, with the Serie A side finding the negotiations with Spurs to be a ‘mystical experience’.
It is explained that when Paratici accepted Fiorentina’s offer, he warned the club that Tottenham could be tricky to deal with, and that is now proving to be true.
Fabio Paratici is still expected to complete Tottenham exit
Corriere Fiorentino make it clear that despite the protracted negotiations, Paratici’s switch to Florence is not in doubt.
It is just a case of Tottenham looking after their own interests and not wanting to make it easy for the Serie A club.
The report suggests that it could take until the end of the month before all details are agreed on by the two clubs, but Fiorentina are so confident of getting Paratici that they have started making plans with the Italian on how to improve their squad.
