Paratici plotting with Italian connections to sign ‘special’ star likened to Maradona for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur chief Fabio Paratici has been linked with a move for Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala.

According to fresh news reported by reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus and Dybala have failed to come to an agreement over a new contract.

Whilst there was a verbal agreement in place last October, the Serie A side have gone back on their word and have changed their proposal.

The Argentina international’s current deal expires in the summer, and it now appears that the 28-year-old will not be renewing with the Turin club as Romano told Sky Italy ‘he’s set to leave as free agent‘ after a meeting on Monday morning.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Spurs join Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid in the race to sign the forward.

It is reported that the links are due to Paratici’s ability to use his connections with Juventus, and a proposal from the north London club is possible.

However, it has been reported that “it takes time to frame the technical aims of a club in full swing to qualify for the next Champions League”, essentially saying that Spurs’ chances of winning the race could hinge on finishing in the top four.

Given the statement about Champions League, a move for Dybala would be dependent on the end to Tottenham’s season, with a place in a European competition no doubt a necessary requirement for an international superstar in the prime of his career.

A whole heap of legendary figures, including the likes of Michael Laudrup and Alessandro Del Piero, have heaped praise on Dybala, labelling him a “special” talent, and he certainly deserves to be playing at the highest level. Ballon d’Or winner Michel Platini has even compared the Argentine with one of the greatest to play the game in Diego
