Pochettino informs PSG of desire to leave amid Real Madrid & Spurs interest

The Argentine boss has asked his current employers for permission to cancel his contract one year early

Goal can confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his desire to leave the club amid interest in his services from Real Madrid and Tottenham.

PSG drafted Pochettino in to replace Thomas Tuchel in the Parc des Princes hot-seat at the start of the year, and he subsequently guided the club to a Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions double.

The Argentine still has a year remaining on his contract with the Ligue 1 giants, but Goal understands that Real are eager to lure him to Santiago Bernabeu, while Spurs have made contact with their former head coach to discuss his potential return to the club.
