Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly set to step down as PSG manager.

The French champions have yet to make an official announcement, but both parties held talks last week, where it was decided the Argentine will not serve out the final year of his contract.

Zinedine Zidane, Jose Mourinho and Nice coach Christophe Galtier are among those being considered as Pochettino’s replacement.

Pochettino guided PSG to last season’s French League title…but they failed to make it past the last-16 of the Champions League.

The deal could be worth 64 million pounds, plus a further 21 million in add-ons, making him Liverpool’s most expensive signing, surpassing the 75 million for Virgil Van Dijk in 2018.
