Mauricio Pochettino approaches Paris Saint-Germain after the French club fired Thomas Tuchel … and Dele Alli could follow the former Tottenham manager to the Ligue 1 champions
Mauricio Pochettino is set for his long-awaited return to football with Paris Saint Germain, and will immediately consider transferring Dele Alli.
The firing of Thomas Tuchel as PSG boss was confirmed Tuesday morning with Pochettino in advanced talks to replace the German.
With the transfer market reopening on Friday, the Argentine will have an immediate opportunity to upgrade his squad.

Alli has long been a transfer target for PSG, having flopped with three separate loan offers for the attacking midfielder in the summer.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that the Ligue 1 club was preparing to return with Alli next month believing Tottenham is finally ready to let him go.
Pochettino knows Alli well since they worked together successfully at Tottenham.

But it remains to be seen, despite the strong will of PSG officials to review their Alli move, whether the transfer now has the green light.
There he earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young footballers under Pochettino, and there would be hopes that the 48-year-old could help reinvigorate the career of the Spurs star who has run into a obstacle under the direction of José Mourinho.
The South American, who has been on Manchester United’s radar as a possible replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has been out of work since leaving Tottenham in November 2019.
