Postecoglou Declines to Approve Spurs Deal for Serie A Midfielder

Another Juventus-to-Spurs Transfer Rumored

Tottenham Hotspur has previously signed Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus, and now reports suggest another player may follow the same path to North London.

The latest name linked is Nicolo Fagioli, a 23-year-old midfielder struggling for minutes at Juventus since Thiago Motta’s arrival at the Allianz Stadium.

Speculation has intensified about a January move to Spurs, with the player reportedly favoring a transfer to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over interest from Fulham, West Ham, and Crystal Palace.

Postecoglou Yet to Decide on Fagioli

According to GiveMeSport, Spurs have presented Ange Postecoglou with the option to sign Fagioli, but the head coach has yet to approve the move.

The report highlights Fagioli’s eagerness to leave Juventus and willingness to join Spurs, where his skillset as a central midfielder could be a valuable addition.

Despite this, Tottenham’s leadership, including Postecoglou, is cautious and unwilling to rush the decision.

The club is reportedly weighing its options and evaluating other potential targets before making a final call.

Fabio Paratici’s Role in the Link

Fabio Paratici, the former Tottenham managing director, is rumored to be a strong supporter of Fagioli.

Having worked with the player at Juventus, Paratici is said to have endorsed Fagioli’s abilities and recommended him to Spurs’ recruitment team.

While Paratici officially left Tottenham, multiple sources suggest he still holds influence at the club, with chairman Daniel Levy valuing his insight.

This connection has fueled speculation that Paratici’s input played a role in bringing Fagioli’s name into Tottenham’s transfer discussions.

For now, Spurs remain undecided as they continue to deliberate on whether Fagioli will join their growing list of former Juventus players.
