Reports of negotiations between Fabio Paratici and AC Milan stalling have sparked delight among Tottenham fans, with some supporters daring to dream of his return to Hotspur Way.
Good news has been hard to come by for Tottenham Hotspur fans this season. This week alone, which marked the return of club football after what felt like an age, brought more of the same frustrations.
Spurs fell short yet again in a London derby, this time undone by Chelsea in what’s becoming a painfully familiar storyline.
With the summer window edging closer and serious changes expected both on the pitch and potentially in the dugout, this latest update could well prove to be a welcome shift in the right direction.
Tottenham fans express delight after Fabio Paratici AC Milan move collapses
According to fresh reports, talks between former Spurs director Fabio Paratici and AC Milan have broken down, halting what many believed was a done deal.
The two parties are said to have failed to reach an agreement, leaving the door open for Fabio Paratici to return to Tottenham. The Italian director remains close to Daniel Levy and has been loosely linked with a return to N17 ahead of the summer.
Tottenham fans haven’t held back in reacting to the update, with many calling it the best news they’ve had in weeks.

“Best news of the day,” one fan posted, while another added: “Good, we can’t lose him. Need him next season.”
Others were a bit more measured: “Let’s not get carried away, the news appears to be that he ain’t going to Milan, but no guarantee he’ll rejoin us……”
One supporter even joked about the impact it might have on the manager: “Oh God, I am now hoping this means Ange is emptying his office and being escorted off the premises….”
While another quipped: “Ange out, Fabio in and he gets to choose the next manager.” And of course, someone had to mention the drama: “More twists and turns than a Mathys Tel transfer saga 😂”
Spurs summer rebuild and why Paratici’s return would be timely
It’s easy to see why many Tottenham fans are clinging on to the hope that Fabio Paratici might be tempted back, especially with how uncertain things feel at the club right now.
The potential for a managerial change at Spurs looms large over the summer, with Postecoglou under increasing pressure to turn things around – and quickly – if he wants to remain in charge next season.
But it’s not just about the man in the dugout. Tottenham are in desperate need of a proper recruitment drive.
With Cristian Romero potentially heading for the exit at Spurs and midfield reinforcements high on the agenda, the club will need someone with a sharp eye for talent.
