Arsenal Move Could See Wenger Lose Control Over Transfers

Arsenal are reportedly planning to bring Juventus Sporting Director Fabio Paraciti to the Emirates this summer, to oversee their transfer activities in the future.

The 42-year-old is renowned in Turin for his brilliant work behind the scenes, which has seen the likes of Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba brought to the club for minimal fees- with their value skyrocketing since.

Reports now state Arsenal want to bring Paraciti to fulfil a similar role in North London, which could see the Gunners find their muscle in the market for the first-time since losing David Dein.

However, the move could mean that Arsene Wenger would have a significantly less say in the transfer activities that Arsenal complete, which would be the first move for the Gunners for a post-Wenger era.

Whilst Wenger has masterminded the signings of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez is recent years, the club have missed out on a number of high-profile targets and lost a lot of players that could have been sold for a lot more.

In the scope of things, this seems like a positive move for Arsenal to face-off against their rivals in the transfer market and put the club on solid foundations for the future.

It also gives Arsenal a plan for the future, when Arsene Wenger is not in charge, which would see the club avoid a fall like Manchester United experience after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
