Real Madrid to make a shock £40million bid for Mauricio Pochettino

Following Real Madrid poor start to the season Los Blancos seriously considering the sacking of head coach Julen Lopetegui. And now they regard Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino as a replacement for the ongoing coach. Pochettino has been Madrid’s first choice to replace Zinedine Zidane last summer but the Argentine signed a new long-term contract in north London. Following Lopetegui’s appointment Real Madrid are in a kind of a nightmare and remain seventh after losing three of their first nine matches this term. Madrid now want to speak to Pochettino again and they believe Spurs boss will agree a deal with them. However, Pochettino is unlikely to leave Spurs midway through their campaign and Tottenham owner Daniel Levy will not entertain any interest.
