Fabio Paratici is in talks with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director, in a move that would end his ties with Tottenham.
The Italian administrator, who left his role as Spurs' managing director of football in April 2023 after being banned by world governing body Fifa - following an investigation into financial irregularities during his time at Juventus - is free to return to work in the summer when his suspension ends.
Sources close to Paratici have told BBC Sport the 52-year-old is in contact with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director.
Despite leaving his role at Tottenham, Paratici has continued to have a presence at the Premier League club.
He is a consultant for the club and has been a regular at Tottenham's home games, while recent reports have stated the north London club were looking to rehire him.
However, Paratici - if talks with the San Siro club end successfully - will cut ties with Tottenham as he focuses on his new role.
Paratici has been central to a number of Tottenham's most recent signings, most notably Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.
