Paris Saint-Germain and Mauricio Pochettino reportedly hold "decisive talks" amid demand for the Argentine's services from Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly held "decisive" talks with the club amid links with Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

With Daniel Levy's efforts to find a successor to Jose Mourinho so far proving futile, reports emerged earlier this week claiming that the Lilywhites could elect to bring Pochettino back to the club 18 months after sacking him.

However, the Argentine has also been linked with the vacancy at Real Madrid after Zinedine Zidane's departure, with rumoured Los Blancos target Massimiliano Allegri instead returning to Juventus.

Now, The Mirror reports that Pochettino and PSG have cleared the air and centred recent discussions on the 2021-22 campaign, where Les Parisiens are aiming to dethrone Lille as Ligue 1 champions.

With Pochettino only taking the reins in January following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, the capital giants are thought to be surprised at the sudden demand for his services.

The Argentine's PSG deal does expire at the end of the 2021-22 season, though, and he has won 24 of his 34 games at the helm so far.
