The pair reportedly had food together in Barcelona this week.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham Hotspur fans can be hard to please but at the moment they are very happy with their manager. Mauricio Pochettino has Spurs playing some of their best football in recent memory and are challenging at the top of the Premier League table.
So of course they fear he may leave them. Plenty of big European clubs will be very interested in bringing Pochettino in as a new manager.
One such team is Barcelona. Luis Enrique is leaving at the end of the season and Pochettino has been linked with the role. He has a long history in the city with rivals Espanyol, which is pushing the speculation.
Now, Sport.es is reporting that Pochettino actually met with Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu in a restaurant in the city earlier this week.
With the international break in full swing Pochettino was likely in his old home to see friends, but also it seems met up with the Barcelona big-wig.

It could have just been a mutual meeting between two football brains who happened to be in the same city at the same time.
But of course plenty of observers will read far more into it then that and suggest the meeting can only mean one thing, Pochettino is on the radar and the Argentine is interested.
