Tottenham could move for Benfica talent expert Rui Pedro Braz if they lose Fabio Paratici.
The ex-Juventus man, who is presently Spurs' Managing Director of Football, received a 30-month ban from Italian football.
Per The Mirror, there are concerns that FIFA regulations could mean the ban is extended to a nation outside of Italy.
In that case, Spurs would have to do without Paratici for more than two years, which would lead to him losing his job.
Pedro Braz is being seen as the most likely alternative, as he was also courted by Chelsea recently.
His ability to secure talents such as Enzo Fernandez for modest sums has made Benfica a lot of money.
