Tottenham could move for Benfica talent spotter Rui Pedro Braz if Fabio Paratici is hit with a worldwide ban.
Spurs chief Paratici has been handed a 30-month ban from Italian football for his involvement in alleged financial irregularities and false accounting at Juventus.
His two-and-a-half-year ban applies only to Italian football but under Fifa’s regulations, a national association can apply to extend a ban outside its own country. The scandal, saw players – according to the prosecutor – traded at artificially inflated values. Juventus firmly deny all wrongdoing and say they have begun the process of appealing against the court’s decision.
