Untouchable; that’s what Juventus feel about their top players but behind the scenes, President Andrea Agnelli also wants to tie down his trusted backroom staff. CEO Beppe Marotta has already renewed until 2018 and now Sporting Director Fabrizio Paratici will also commit his future to the bianconeri, ending any speculation that he may leave for pastures new.
 

The plan of Agnelli is to discuss a new agreement for Paratici in particular with the idea that he could become the head of the clubs technical area. The president believes that this will cement his future to the club despite a recent approach from Milan and other suitors across Europe including Tottenham Hotspur. Paratici, despite being fascinated by the Premier League, will sit down and discuss the way forward early in 2017 and continue the excellent work he has already undertaken.
