Those who follow Serie A closely have been aware of Fabio Paratici’s ability for quite some time, but the Cristiano Ronaldo acquisition made him into a house hold name with all football fans. Juventus’ sporting director’s profile has risen also within Juventus after Beppe Marotta announced he’ll be stepping down as the club’s executive director, this is what Paratici had to say about that decision: “Could I see Marotta at Inter? It wouldn’t surprise me because he’s a great director- he said while attending an event in Rieti- In the past ten years he was the best along with Galliani. I hope he’s happy even at another Italian club. He has been a father figure to me”
Paratici was asked about two big name midfielders who have been linked to Juventus: “Milinkovic Savic is a great footballer, but we never discussed him: neither with him nor with Lazio. Same situation with Pogba, a person we care about and to whom we are very attached. But we never thought about it and at the moment he isn’t in our thoughts”
Paratici also discussed Cristiano Ronaldo: “He’s the best in the world, maybe even in the history of the game. I’m not sure if we are the favorites in the Champions League but we worked a lot on it. The win in the final doesn’t just come from your management plan, but everything”
