The Tottenham Hotspur manager is widely considered to be one of the best in the business.
Guillem Balague suggested that a new trio of clubs are interested in trying to tempt Mauricio Pochettino away from Tottenham, when writing his column for BBC Sport.
The Argentine was heavily linked with both the Real Madrid and Manchester United jobs, but the La Liga giants appointed Zinedine Zidane, whilst the Red Devils brought in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And in the process, Spurs fans began to breath more easily once again.
With Tottenham having now moved into their new home, these are exciting times for the north London outfit, and Pochettino will surely be keen to hang around for quite some time yet.
Balague, however, told BBC Sport how three of Europe’s biggest clubs have been studying the possibility of luring Poch away from Spurs, although he did suggest that the Argentine would not come cheap:
“With Real Madrid and Manchester United now out of the equation, the talk is that Juventus, Inter and Bayern Munich have studied the possibility of luring Pochettino away from Spurs. If any one of the three feel that is the way ahead, they would need to find something in the region of £30m-£40m to stand any chance of prising him away from Levy.”
Tottenham currently sit in third spot in the Premier League table, one point clear of fourth placed Arsenal and fifth placed Chelsea, and their hopes of keeping hold of Pochettino will surely depend heavily on whether or not they finish inside the top four this season.
