Tottenham Hotspur is in advanced talks to appoint Carlos-Raphael “Rafi” Moersen, the highly-regarded Director of Football Transactions for the City Football Group, as their new Director of Football Operations.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in advanced talks to appoint Carlos-Raphael Moersen, a highly-rated executive from the City Football Group (CFG), as their new Director of Football Operations.
Moersen, known as “Rafi,” currently serves as CFG’s Director of Football Transactions. His imminent move represents another significant step in the ongoing restructuring of the senior hierarchy at the North London club.
Moersen’s expertise lies in managing contract negotiations for both current Manchester City players and prospective transfer targets. He has spent the last decade rising through the ranks of the CFG structure, becoming a crucial operator.
Reports indicate he stepped into sharing key responsibilities after the recent departure of Omar Berrada to rivals Manchester United.
The potential hiring is viewed as a significant show of intent from Tottenham as they continue to transform the structure above the coaching staff and playing squad.
Securing an executive of Moersen’s calibre would bring crucial experience in complex contract management and high-level football administration to the club.
