Fabio Paratici 'wants Leonardo Bonucci, Dejan Kulusevski at Tottenham Hotspur'

Despite talks with Antonio Conte over the managerial vacancy breaking down last week, Spurs are expected to announce the arrival of Paratici as their new sporting director in the coming days.

While Daniel Levy's primary focus remains on finding a permanent successor for Jose Mourinho, Paratici is supposedly getting to work on potential incomings for Tottenham's playing squad.

According to Calciomercato, the ex-Juve chief has set his sights on a double swoop for experienced defender Bonucci and up-and-coming attacker Kulusevski this summer.

Bonucci, now 34, still has another three years left to run on his Juventus contract, where he has won eight Serie A titles in two separate spells with the Turin giants.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old attacker Kulusevski managed seven goals and seven assists during his first full season with Juve last term, but he is thought to be one of the few players that the Italian giants have deemed unsellable this summer.
