Fabio Paratici looked at Italy to please Antonio Conte in the latter’s first transfer window at Tottenham Hotspur in January.

The north London club took Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski in the winter market as the two players arrived from Juventus.

Spurs bought the Uruguayan midfielder permanently, while they took the attacker on an 18-month loan deal with an obligation to buy if certain conditions are met in the 2022/23 season.

Kulusevski has excelled in his first few months in the Premier League, managing three goals and six assists from 11 league appearances.

Describing his performances for Tottenham, Calciomercato state the Sweden international has ‘literally flourished’ under the former Chelsea manager.

“I struggle to make the schemes but on the evaluation of the players I am hardly wrong,” Massimiliano Allegri said after his side’s elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Villarreal.

Focusing on this comment, the website states Allegri was wrong with the ex-Parma man and João Cancelo, who is now excelling at Manchester City.

Regarding the Swede, it’s said both the Old Lady and their manager made a ‘mistake’ by letting him leave in January, as Juventus decided to ‘dump’ him as they were in need of immediate cash after they decided in signing Dušan Vlahović in the same window.

Kulusevski, who struggled in Italy in the first half of this season, has turned things around under Conte at Tottenham.

In fact, Juve may ‘regret’ their decision to not bet on the player.
