- Il Corriere della Sera, via Football Italia, reports Paratici has a five-year agreement and is in Italy working to terminate his Spurs contract.
- The proposal is widely described as granting full autonomy over the sporting area, including staff appointments and transfer strategy.
- Fiorentina expect a decision within 24–48 hours and are pushing to have leadership in place for the January window after a 5-1 win that still leaves them last in Serie A.
