Fabio Paratici is going to find it incredibly tough in his career to top the deal that saw Tottenham sign Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus on the final day of the January transfer window. A proven winner in the game after winning trophy after trophy for the Bianconeri. Despite his tender years, the 25-year-old also has bags of experience at the top level for both club and country.
He was just the player Tottenham needed in January to help kickstart their season as they looked to make a late dash for Champions League football. Quite how the Lilywhites managed to sign him for £15.8million remains to be seen, not that Paratici, Antonio Conte and his Spurs team are complaining about it.
The deal really could end up being one of the club's best-ever pieces of transfer business. The aforementioned fee, which is payable within three financial years, could increase up to £5m if specific 'performance objectives' are met during his time with Spurs.
