Former Italy star Antonio Cassano has laid into Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici for selling Joao Cancelo at Juventus.

The Portuguese full back went to Manchester City and became a superstar under manager Pep Guardiola.

While he has since fallen out with Guardiola and gone on loan to Bayern Munich, Cancelo is still seen as one of the best in his position.

Speaking to Bobo TV, Cassano said: "I understand that Inter does it [due to financial problems], but that Juventus sells him… it seems crazy to me.

"£40million? I wouldn't have even sold him for £400m.

"It was sporting director Fabio Paratici who sold him.

"He doesn't even know how he ended up at Tottenham.

"Selling Cancelo is spitting in football's face.

"He's a phenomenon, he would make a difference even playing as a striker."
