According to a report, Mauricio Pochettino has already decided he would leave PSG this summer in a shock twist of events.
Mauricio Pochettino has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his desire to leave the club this summer.
The Argentine still has a year remaining on his contract with the Ligue 1 giants but has been linked with both Real Madrid and Tottenham.
PSG’s sporting director Leonardo will now decide how is best to move forwards, according to Goal.
Pochettino has been named as the favourite to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid.
Zidane left the Bernabeu for the second time after seeing his side knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea and finishing second behind Atletico Madrid in LaLiga.
Initially, Real wanted former Juventus boss Maximiliano Allegri to take the hotseat but the Italian club have moved quickly and he is set to replace Andrea Pirlo after an abject season in Turin.
As a result, they have turned their attention to Pochettino – who replaced Thomas Tuchel in Paris at the start of the year.
Having guided the club to victory in the Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions, Tottenham have also been linked with the 49-year-old.
Spurs are in crisis after their worst season in 12 years which has left them without a manager, an unsettled squad likely soon to be without its world class striker, and a furious fan base who are watching the decline unfold helplessly.
Therefore, it is believed the club will open talks with Pochettino over a dramatic return to the club. During the talks – which are due to start next week – the former boss set to ask star striker Harry Kane to stay for one more year if he does go back to the club.
