But with them failing to clinch the Ligue 1 title or the Champions League, it has seen reports indicate that Pochettino has been looking to leave. That combined with recent interest from both Tottenham and Real Madrid have piqued the Argentine’s interest with him keen on the move.
It has seen Goal report that Pochettino has reportedly informed PSG of his desire to leave the club in order to make the move either to Spain or to England. While his future destination hasn’t been decided, the 49-year-old is looking to leave the club despite having a year left on his current contract with the Parisians. The report has further added that the Argentine has told Sporting Director Leonardo of his wishes although the Brazilian has recently confirmed that Pochettino has no plans of leaving.
