Fabio Paratici knows who he wants Tottenham to replace Cristian Romero with.
Tottenham Hotspur remain at very real risk of losing their vice-captain Cristian Romero this summer, and Fabio Paratici wants the North London club to replace the Argentine with a 24-year-old Serie A star.
According to reports, we will find out by the end of this month if Cristian Romero will join Atletico Madrid, with the La Liga club setting a clear deadline for the transfer.
In the meantime, it appears that Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for the possibility of losing their vice-captain and have identified one Lazio man as a potential replacement.
Last week, reports from Italy indicated that Tottenham had set their sights on Mario Gila, who has developed into one of the most reliable and consistent centre-halves in Serie A over the last couple of years.

Fabio Paratici is keen to bring Mario Gila to Tottenham
TEAMtalk have now backed up what we have heard over recent weeks from other sources by claiming that Paratici is expected to return to Spurs in a formal role.
The Italian has already started working with the North London club on their summer transfer pursuits, including their quest to find a replacement for Romero.
The outlet alleges that Paratici, who possesses extensive knowledge of Italian football, has recommended Gila to Spurs as a suitable alternative for the World Cup winner.
