With the sacking of Thomas Tuchel as manager of Paris Saint-Germain on Christmas Eve, the club is currently without a man in charge of their first team. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been very closely linked with a job and has been given the “Here We Go” by Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, meaning that the deal is as good as done.
Clarifying the situation on the “Here We Go” podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano, and Francesco Porzio said that only minor details had to be sorted out between the club and Pochettino.
While rumors are flying about linking all sorts of players with Paris Saint-Germain when the Argentinian takes charge, it must be kept in mind that the deal is yet to be made official by both parties.
Dele Alli has been heavily linked with a potential loan move to France. The rumor makes sense because the player is not getting a lot of playing time under Jose Mourinho and is looking to move away for the sole purpose of getting minutes on the pitch.
Elsewhere, Christian Eriksen is also being linked with a move to Paris to help out with the game’s attacking side. However, there are currently no advanced talks between the two clubs going on.
In PSG’s first meeting with Pochettino, a budget and a clear direction will be agreed upon for the club’s future. The Parisians’ main priority is negotiating a new contract with their star player Kylian Mbappe, who has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid but could be convinced to stay if the project with Pochettino looks promising enough.
