Antonio Conte will be hoping that Fabio Paratici can produce some more magic in the transfer market this summer as he looks to take Tottenham to the next level. Desperately needing to bring a couple of fresh faces in during the head coach's first transfer window in charge of Spurs, the managing director of football returned to his former club Juventus to sign two players.
Rodrigo Bentancur, who was linked with a January switch to Aston Villa, arrived in a move worth £21.5million and penned a four-and-a-half year contract in N17, with Dejan Kulusevski arriving on an 18-month loan agreement. The deal for the Swede does contain a £29million obligation to buy if certain criteria are met, but Spurs can move early to sign him for £25million this summer and save some money in the process.
Demonstrating so far at Tottenham that he does like to move for players on loan with either an option or obligation to buy, Paratici's time at Juventus also highlighted that he is fond of a free transfer. Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Kingsley Coman, Dani Alves, Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot were just some of the players signed on frees during Paratici's time with the Bianconeri.
