# Tottenham: Fabio Paratici plotting unique Ruslan Malinovskyi bid

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) chief Fabio Paratici is plotting a unique return bid for summer target Ruslan Malinovskyi as he also eyes his teammate Giorgio Scalvini.**

### The Lowdown: Malinovskyi links…

The Ukraine international was on Spurs’ radar over the summer transfer window as manager Antonio Conte and sporting director Paratici scoured the market for a creative midfield player.

However, a move from Atlanta to north London failed to materialise despite Malinovskyi’s real interest in moving to the[Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side.

As reported by reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano in August (via [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1659379/Tottenham-Ruslan-Malinovskyi-Spurs-transfer-news-Antonio-Conte-Atalanta)), the 29-year-old apparently ‘dreams’ of joining Conte’s team and ‘would love to join’ Spurs.

Malinovskyi’s current deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruslan-malinovskyi/profil/spieler/207877) in the summer, putting Atalanta under pressure to either sell in January or risk losing him for nothing later in 2023.

### The Latest: Paratici plots unique Malinovskyi bid…

Amid the attacker’s contract situation, it appears Spurs and Paratici are plotting to return for the player mid-season – but with a twist.

Indeed, as well as bidding to sign Malinovskyi, the Lilywhites have also set their sights on 18-year-old rising star defender Giorgio Scalvini.

[Calciomercatoweb.it](https://www.calciomercatoweb.it/2022/11/04/calciomercato-juventus-milan-atalanta-tottenham-scalvini-malinovskyi-conte/) claim Paratici plans to present a ‘single offer’ of €30-35 million (£26m-£30m) for both players – a ‘proposal’ which would beat fellow interested parties Juventus and AC Milan if accepted.

### The Verdict: Get it done?

The interest in Malinovkskyi is well-founded, especially since he stood out as Atalanta’s fifth best-performing Serie A player last season with six goals and four assists over 2021/2022 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/300/Archive/Italy-Atalanta?stageId=19982)).

Called a ‘[top player’](https://twitter.com/jwa1994/status/1484967031774466048) by reporter Jake Anderson, Paratici should certainly go back in for the Ukrainian, and signing 6 foot 4 powerhouse Scalvini, though largely inexperienced, would be an added bonus.
