The financial scandal engulfing Juventus could easily spill over to other clubs, especially in Serie A, however it’s not just the Serie A clubs that should be sweating right now, but also foreign clubs, Tottenham Hotspur in particular.
Why? Well, because Fabio Paratici is up to his neck in this scandal and is currently employed by the Premier League giants and at the center of their rebuilding under Antonio Conte.
If personal charges are brought against Paratici, then his job with the north London club would be in serious jeopardy and it is hard to see him keeping his job at the club.
If he were to lose his job at Spurs the effect on the club could be significant, Paratici is the main man in their rebuilding. Almost everything revolves around him, he is the link between Conte and the board, he is the man who makes the transfers, he is the man who identifies the players with Conte, he is the man who has developed a brilliant working relationship with the manager and president, any interruption of that could hurt Tottenham on a sporting level more than Juventus itself.
Spurs won’t face any sporting sanctions, the Juve scandal has nothing to do with them, but Paratici is right in the middle and any damage to him would hurt Tottenham. The extent to which is conjecture at the moment, but losing Paratici would be a huge loss for the London outfit.
