Pochettino was in the running to become ’s next manager but the club announced this week that Erik ten Hag will be arriving from to replace Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.
According to , Pochettino is set to become a free agent this summer as PSG are now negotiating the terms of his departure.
The report claims that Pochettino no longer wants to continue at PSG, while the club do not want the Argentine as their manager.
It’s claimed that PSG will need to pay €15 million (£12.6m) in order to sack Pochettino and his coaching staff, who have one year left on their contracts.
After PSG secured the Ligue 1 title, Pochettino openly criticised supporters for booing Messi during the game.
‘It’s incredible, they are difficult things to accept,’ Pochettino told ESPN.
‘Situations that are unlikely that are not understood. How great he is, what he gives to football, and what he is going to continue giving to football.
‘I’m Happy for him. I congratulated him after the game and one more title for his record.’
Speaking after the draw with Lens on Saturday evening, PSG’s sporting director Leonardo refused to rule out the prospect of Pochettino’s exit.
‘We need to talk to him,’ said Leonardo.
‘He has a one-year contract with us. We have to see a little, in relation to everything. It’s not just the Pochettino issue.
‘It is true that it was a heavy season, for everyone.
‘We have to speak with players, not just with the coach to clarify situations, to decide on the strategy for the new season.
‘It’s a general discourse and it concerns everyone.’
