The Athletic’s David Ornstein has shared a huge update on the future of Tottenham Hotspur transfer chief Fabio Paratici, following multiple approaches from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Lowdown: Paratici linked with PSG role

The Ligue 1 giants are reportedly eyeing potential successors for their sporting director role, as current chief Leonardo is said to have become disillusioned with his situation at the Parc des Princes.

As a result, Spurs’ Paratici has been named as one of the candidates identified by Mauricio Pochettino’s side as a potential replacement.

The Tottenham chief was only appointed as the north London club’s managing director last summer, taking the responsibility off Daniel Levy, who has stepped back from his all-encompassing football role.

The Latest: Ornstein’s update on Paratici

According to reports deriving from France [via The Athletic], PSG are likely to part ways with Leonardo and are keen on hiring Paratici as his successor. It is believed that the French giants have approached the Italian on multiple occasions, the latest of which came last summer, just before he joined the Lilywhites.

However, according to fresh reports from Ornstein and The Athletic, there has not been any fresh contact between the two parties. Paratici remains enthusiastic and committed to Tottenham, where he has a close working relationship with Antonio Conte and Levy.

The Verdict: Good news for Spurs

The Italian’s relationship with Conte could prove to be one of the deciding factors which keeps the Spurs manager at the club, especially since it was Paratici who wanted the former Inter Milan coach in N17 in the first place.

The Tottenham chief signed a contract for a minimum of 18 months, and even after that, his partnership with the club will be evaluated.

Therefore, being less than a year into his stay at Spurs, Ornstein’s news will come as a big sigh of relief to Lilywhites fans, who may now be able to rest easy about Paratici's future.
