Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus have a solid working relationship.
Both clubs have reached agreements in recent transfer windows that have included Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski moving from Turin to London.
Discussing just how shrewd the Lilywhites’ business has been, particularly in the January transfer window, Italian super-agent Roberto De Fanti, who spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside, has paid tribute to director Fabio Paratici’s savvy eye for talent.
“Obviously, the club have had great success with signing players from Juventus recently – Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, especially, have been absolutely excellent,” De Fanti said.
“Since Kulusevski came to London his performances under Conte have been devastating. He was not a favourite for Massimiliano Allegri so there is some regret in Turin, but that is just the way football goes sometimes.
“Both Bentancur and Kulusevski were not regular starters at Juventus so many people thought ‘how could they be a success at Tottenham Hotspur?’ – But the reality is, both players have been instrumental in the side qualifying for next season’s Champions League.”
De Fanti isn’t wrong either – Kulusevski, in particular, has been a revelation since teaming up with Conte at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
