Indeed, despite both Conte and Paratici having a close working relationship at Juve, the latter man is set to join Tottenham regardless.

"Understand he's already begun planning potential sales for Tottenham and targets with those funds.
"Steve Hitchen is currently expected to remain within the structure."

He is widely regarded as a capable director and known for the playing a huge role in bringing footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.
