The Sun

FORMER Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici has taken a swipe at his former by insisting his new bosses at Fiorentina are ‘very serious’.

Paratici, 53, said that Fiorentina’s owners didn’t persuade him to quit Spurs, revealing the decision instead was his alone.

Paratici’s shock exit came just weeks after he was welcomed back at Spurs as co-sporting director alongside Johan Lange.

He said: “It may have seemed like a rash decision but it was actually a brave one.

“Brave because when you make a rash decision you don’t know what you’re doing.

“When you make a brave one it’s because you’ve weighed it up and mulled over the reasons to take it.

“In my case Fiorentina have a serious set of owners, a very serious set of owners who are of great value.”

On his Viola Park unveiling, Paratici said he didn’t return to Serie A for the “weather and the pasta”.

The Italian powerbroker said: “The Premier League right now is football’s NBA.

“At the same time, as an Italian, I had the desire to come back and compete in Serie A. It’s a top league, very tough.”

Paratici’s exit came just weeks after his surprising Spurs return.

The Italian had only just been welcomed back following a two-and-a-half year global football ban for orchestrating a transfer scam at Juventus.

His comeback was announced mid-January as Tottenham were scrambling to strengthen their squad.

Paratici joined the Lilywhites back in June 2021 as managing director of football.

In his first season, they went from seventh to fourth in the league – securing a Champions League spot.

The experienced transfer guru said: “To do this job with a club like Fiorentina was a source of real motivation.

“To do it with these owners, who are very serious, and infrastructure that’s super international, a brand known all over the world and people who share my ideas on.

“The game was more than enough for me to come back and work here.”

Paratici said that he decided to join Fiorentina in mid-December when Fiorentina only had six points.

Adding that Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli is “the Lion King of the dressing room“.

TOTTENHAM have drafted Conor Gallagher, Radu Dragusin and Mathys Tel into their Champions League squad for the knockouts.

But there is no room for Yves Bissouma or long-term injury absentee Dejan Kulusevski.

Thomas Frank was allowed to make three changes to his List A of 22 first-team players to be eligible from the last-16 round which takes place in March.

He had chosen to remove injured pair Rodrigo Bentancur and Ben Davies as well as Brennan Johnson, who was sold to Crystal Palace last month for £35million.

Bentancur is out for a few months after undergoing hamstring surgery.

Welsh full-back Davies also faces an extended period on the sidelines due to a fractured ankle.

Tel, 20, was left off the original squad back in September but then came back in for the Slavia Prague game in December.

That was due to an injury loophole which allowed Dominic Solanke to temporarily drop out, but the England striker was back in for Tel for last month’s vital wins over Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Tel was left “disappointed” by that call, according to Frank, but now the winger is back in.

Centre-back Dragusin was also left out originally as he worked his way back from a serious knee injury sustained last January in the Europa League.

The Romanian, 24, played his first 90 minutes in 372 days in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League.

England man Gallagher, 26, only arrived last month after signing from Atletico Madrid for £35m.

Bissouma, 29, has been brought back in from the cold in recent weeks by Frank, despite Spurs initially wanting to sell the Mali captain earlier in January.

While the return date to action for Kulusevski, 25, remains unknown, having had kneecap surgery in May last year.

Spurs’ Champions League squad can be supplemented by a number of young players from their B list, such as wonderkid Luca Williams-Barnett and recent debutant Jun’ai Byfield.

THE Michael Carrick revolution faces its next big test this Saturday lunchtime as Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford.

The interim boss has completely transformed the mood at the Theatre of Dreams since taking charge in January. United are the only Premier League side still undefeated in 2026, a run capped off by last Sunday’s thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Fulham, where substitute Benjamin Sesko netted a dramatic 94th-minute winner.

They face a Tottenham side (14th) that is battling through an injury crisis but showing immense fight under Thomas Frank. Spurs proved their resilience last weekend by coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with champions Manchester City, courtesy of a stunning brace (and a scorpion kick!) from Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham are decimated by injuries—missing key stars like James Maddison, Pedro Porro, and Dejan Kulusevski—but they have their bite back. Dominic Solanke will be brimming with confidence after his heroics against Man City, and with Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr to steady the midfield, they can hurt United on the break.

“LADS, it’s Tottenham” has taken on a very different meaning for Manchester United over the last three years.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s famous three-word team talk came back to haunt him when he watched Spurs end their trophy drought against United in the Europa League final.

Remarkably, the Red Devils are winless in eight against the North Londoners — a run spanning Ryan Mason, Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank.

The 2-2 draw at Tottenham in November was another nail in Ruben Amorim’s coffin. Tottenham fans booed at half-time and again in the second half when Frank hooked Xavi Simons.

United were 1-0 up at both stages. In the end, they required an added-time equaliser from Matthijs de Ligt just to avoid defeat.

That draw was the second match in a sequence of three wins from Amorim’s final 11 matches in charge.

Amorim was sacked for challenging Jason Wilcox but United’s communications department could easily point to the team’s form. In particular, some diabolical draws (West Ham and Wolves) and defeat (to ten-man Everton).

The last time United beat Spurs, Antonio Conte was in the opposition dugout and it was the night the unused Cristiano Ronaldo left the stadium early.

That 2-0 win was in October 2022, back when United were on the up under Erik ten Hag and poised to finish in the top four.

It was also one of their best performances under the Dutchman. One of the worst was the 3-0 home reverse last season. Ten Hag was dismissed four weeks later.

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS

Ten Hag’s last victory with United was against Frank’s Brentford. It was noticeable whenever Frank visited Old Trafford and spoke to the press how complimentary he was about United.

And that was in spite of some gutting defeats. Brentford were 1-0 up in the 90th minute at Old Trafford two seasons ago but were downed by two Scott McTominay goals.

Last season, they went 1-0 up again only to lose 2-1 again.

Frank revealed earlier this season he was interviewed about the United job the day before the 2024 FA Cup final, which was supposed to be Ten Hag’s curtain call.

The last time United beat Spurs, Antonio Conte was in the opposition dugout and it was the night the unused Cristiano Ronaldo left the stadium early.

Frank told a confidant he remained diplomatic about United in public on the off-chance that they would come calling again. They never did.

Giving Frank a swerve was a wise move.

He did a magnificent job at Brentford, who dominated United in all four of their home games against them under the Dane.

Frank absolutely deserved a big club for his next job but United would have been too steep a leap.

Frank and Spurs seemed a good fit, initially. Some of their recruitment was eye-catching (Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha).

Spurs have significant injuries to contend with, which have undeniably contributed to their malaise. But two wins from 15 Premier League matches is sackable form.

If Daniel Levy was still running the show, it would have been curtains for Frank long ago.

You would not have put it past Levy to have ditched Frank and made a mischievous approach for Michael Carrick, given the short length of his contract.

If United end up hiring an external candidate to be their head coach next season then Carrick to Tottenham would not be beyond the realms of possibility.

Carrick has an attachment to the club, albeit a brief one, from his two years as a player between 2004-06.

Spurs fans have despaired about Frank’s conservatism. His formation shape-shifting backfired in the worst fixture imaginable: away to Arsenal in November.

Carrick has been back in the building at Carrington for barely three weeks and already has three wins, United scoring eight goals against three top-seven sides.

Provided he keeps this up and is still not kept on, Carrick would be an attractive appointment to certain Premier League clubs. He is not as wedded to United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was.

Solskjaer has been borderline unemployable despite some respectable feats with United (third and second-place finishes, European final appearance, four semi-final appearances).

The difference with Carrick is he is a coach and has managed in the Premier League and the Championship. His backroom staff is not like the old-boys’ club reunion that Solskjaer assembled.

West Ham, Carrick’s first club, could not be ruled out as a future destination for the Geordie, whether or not they sink down to the Championship.

Carrick’s six-game unbeaten run in charge of United has come against Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Thomas Tuchel and Marco Silva.

Victory over Frank would be another scalp.

Then ‘lads, it’s Tottenham’ would revert to its original meaning for United.

TWO failed Spurs bidders are joining forces to try to buy Daniel Levy’s stake in Tottenham.

SunSport revealed in September how American former DJ Brooklyn Earick had planned to lead a world record £4.5bn buy-out of the club.

That came after a Hong Kong based consortium led by billionaire businessman Ng Wing-Fai also signalled its interest in offering club owners Enic and the Lewis family a deal.

Both attempts were firmly rebuffed, although Earick had a number of meetings with Douglas Armstrong, the Lewis family’s legal counsel.

But now the two bid leaders are attempting to join up and agree a package to purchase ousted chief executive Levy’s 29.9 per cent stake.

And that could add to the pressure on Enic with disgruntled fans ready to turn on the board after promises of significant January transfer activity failed to materialise and a brutal public takedown of the state of the club from skipper Cristian Romero.

It is understood that Levy, forced out of Spurs after 25 years in a boardroom putsch instigated by the Lewis family in September, is seeking around £1bn for his shares, which would value the club at around £3.3bn.

That was the exact valuation of the club in Earick’s initial approach in the autumn, with £1.2bn of his promised total outlay placed in funds for transfers, wages and agents fees.

Under Takeover Panel rules, after withdrawing their separate bids, both Earick and Wing-Fai are prevented from “making a bid or taking other steps towards a takeover” for six months, a period which runs out on March 6.

But that would not prevent either of them – or both combined – from purchasing Levy’s stake, which is marginally below the 30 per cent threshold which would demand a full bid.

In addition, when Earick withdrew his initial bid, the Stock Exchange statement issued by Spurs added: “Mr Brooklyn Earick and the Consortium also reserve the right to acquire shares of the Company, subject to, and in accordance with, the Code and other applicable regulations.”

SunSport understands Wing-Fai, chief executive of Triller Group, a company created following the “$4bn” – just under £3bn – merger of two Hong Kong tech companies, is willing to meet Levy’s asking price.

But he is also understood to want a “relegation clause” reducing the value of the deal if Spurs, currently 14th and nine points clear of the drop zone, were to go down, something that Levy might be likely to reject.

Earick and Wing-Fai are believed to have made contact over forming a concert party to bring the potential deal to fruition.

Representatives of Enic have indicated they are not aware of any potential agreement between Levy and the possible buyers.

Sources close to the family are also questioning what any buyer of Levy’s shares could hope to gain, given the Lewises retain a dominant position and insist they have no wish to sell.

But the latest manoeuvrings come as strong rumours persist that former Newcastle executive Amanda Staveley, whose PCP International Finance were also keen on a potential takeover at the start of the season, is also mulling a fresh bid next month.

And that all means Levy could be able to dangle a financial carrot that will allow him to walk away with a huge sum – and gain a measure of revenge over Enic after the brutal end of his relationship with the Lewis family.

TOTTENHAM fans waited all deadline day for the transfer ‘bomba’ that never happened.

In the end, the most explosive event came courtesy of Cristian Romero, who launched a grenade of an Instagram post seemingly aimed at Spurs’ January window strategy.

And with so many of his team-mates liking his missive, Thomas Frank could well have a job on his hands keeping his injury-hit squad happy between now and the end of the season.

With impeccable timing, captain Romero waited until just after the 7pm deadline – following Spurs’ failure to make a single senior signing on the final day – to light the fuse.

The World Cup winner pointed out how “disgraceful” it was that the team had just 11 players available for Sunday’s game to Manchester City.

Romero has a track record for thinly-veiled digs at Spurs’ hierarchy on social media and in interviews, and this was interpreted as another incendiary swipe.

The fall-out from it could be wide-ranging too, given how many team-mates appeared to show their support by liking the post.

Players often have social-media teams managing their accounts so the like button could have been clicked as a matter of habit, to boost each other’s content reach, though it seems unlikely that that would be the case for all of them.

The list of fellow squad-members to like the post feels like nearly the whole team.

It includes Djed Spence, Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons, James Maddison, Conor Gallagher, Kevin Danso, Pedro Porro and Pape Matar Sarr.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

Striker Dane Scarlett, who has just gone on loan to Hibs in Scotland, also liked it, as did former team-mate Davinson Sanchez.

Then there are the thousands of irate fans who liked and shared the post over and over, feeling like their skipper is speaking for them and their frustrations.

Frank, who has enough to deal with just trying to hold onto his position amid a dismal domestic campaign, will be tasked with trying to explain away Romero’s outburst and suggestions of disquiet in his squad.

Mercifully for the Dane, it is a rare week with no midweek game so he will not have to face the music until Thursday when his next press conference is scheduled.

Spurs will have predicted the heavy fire they are now coming under for their January business from supporters – albeit perhaps not from their captain.

They made two senior signings in Conor Gallagher and Brazilian teenage left-back Souza – albeit the £35million they splashed on the former was recouped by Brennan Johnson’s sale to Crystal Palace.

The North Londoners wanted to push the button on Antoine Semenyo and Andy Robertson but were foiled by the Semenyo’s reluctance to come and Liverpool’s hesitancy to sell.

As ever, names flew about on social media on deadline day to get supporters’ hopes up, but there was never any interest in Magnes Akliouche, Jhon Duran and Moussa Diaby.

They resisted the urge to panic-buy, despite a crippling injury list which was boosted to 11 players when NINE became crocked in January alone.

That saw a rethink on plans to sell Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin, who are now needed given the lack of players available.

The most farcical moment came when Spurs decided to sell Johnson – last term’s top-scorer – and two days later Mohammed Kudus picked up a serious quad injury, leaving them dreadfully short out wide.

It has furious fans in a frenzy, with many hoping this window would have been a statement of intent for the supposed new era of the Lewis family ownership via a heavy spend.

Spurs had the money to do that – as evidenced by their willingness to go big on Semenyo. But ultimately the club were happy to keep their powder dry for the summer if the right players were not available.

That is in spite of Frank’s sparse numbers and the nine-point gap to the relegation zone.

Given how Spurs seem to pick up new injuries every week and their poor league form, the approach to the January window has seemed a huge gamble.

Frank’s has his fair share of heat this term for bad performances, but now it will crank up on those running the club, from chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, to the sporting directors Johan Lange and Fabio Paratici.

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY LIVE: FOLLOW ALL THE LATEST FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW

It was Venkatesham who told supporters in an open letter on January 17: “We believe in our current squad, but must add more quality, experience, and leadership to compete consistently at the highest level.

“Doing so requires a more proactive approach to recruitment, alongside a wage structure that supports our ambition.

“We are fully focused on strengthening the squad in January where the right opportunities exist, while recognising that the most significant player trading activity typically comes in summer windows.

“Our priority is to make signings that genuinely move us forward, and we will be disciplined against that aim.”

Spurs fought to keep hold of Paratici for the window before he says arriverderci and joins Fiorentina.

Yet after the signing of Souza on January 22, which had been the pipeline for a few weeks, no further senior signings were made, in spite of all the Italian transfer guru’s contacts.

Usually, Lange does an in-house interview to sum up a window’s business a few days after the deadline has closed. This window’s instalment will no doubt seem like rage bait to supporters.

Protest group Change For Tottenham had planned a walk-out at 75 minutes of Sunday’s 2-2 draw at home to Manchester City, during which Romero came off at half-time due to illness.

Next to no fans left the stands though as they could not take their eyes off the most thrilling game in Frank’s tenure, with Spurs fighting back from two goals down.

Yet further protests will surely follow after the lack of activity this window and the anger building from the last few years.

A WHOPPING £400million was spent by Premier League clubs in a major January transfer window.

But it was Crystal Palace who were the surprise top spenders as they completed a club-record £48million deadline day move for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen — while also keeping hold of Jean-Philippe Mateta.

The FA Cup holders had already smashed their record in January after spending £35m on Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson.

And Palace also bolstered their front line with a loan move for Aston Villa’s Evan Guessand for a total spend of £83m.

But there was no sign of a new defender despite selling captain Marc Guehi to Man City for £20m.

Palace’s spending came just ahead of City’s, who also splashed £62.5m on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo for a total of £82.5m

But among the other established ‘Big Six’ clubs, there was little sign of life.

Tottenham were the most active with a £35m deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, as well as a £13m move for Santos left-back Souza.

Even so, Spurs’ business was blasted a “disgrace” by club captain Cristian Romero after they were left short on senior stars for Sunday’s 2-2 draw against City.

Elsewhere, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United didn’t make a single senior signing between them.

And Liverpool also failed to bring anyone in now — although they did strike a £60m deal to sign Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet for the summer.

In total, Prem clubs spent a massive £404m on new signings — up £9m from 2025’s winter spend which was driven by a mini Man City rebuild.

Indeed, it’s the third-highest total spent during a January window in the past decade.

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY LIVE: FOLLOW ALL THE LATEST FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW

In 2018, a huge £465m was dropped by teams in the top flight.

But it’s all just a drop in the water compared to the winter of 2023, when a mind-shattering £815m was spent — mainly by Chelsea on stars like £105m Enzo Fernandez.
