The astronomical offer of Real Madrid for Mauricio Pochettino to assume immediately as DT

[Inkriql]

On Monday Real Madrid presented Santiago Solari as interim coach after the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui, who in 14 games only won half, lost a European final with Atlético Madrid and was thrashed 5-1 by Barcelona. The Argentine, who until yesterday was working at Castilla FC, the club's subsidiary team, will take on the upcoming commitments, but his stay has an expiration date.

The leadership of the white team wants to bring an experienced coach and after the problems that arose due to the shuffling of the name of the Italian Antonio Conte, there is already a "Plan B". The Sun newspaper revealed that there is already an offer.

The point is also the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who has a contract with the Tottenham Hotspurs of the Premier League. For that, the leadership of the White House has ready 17 million pounds (USD 21.5 million).

That figure is what would reach the bank account of the technical director if he signs the contract for five seasons that Real Madrid intends and assumes his position immediately, although before he should be disengaged from his current club. Now, his salary is around 8.5 million pounds (USD 10.7 million), half of what he would pocket in the Spanish cast.

The offensive style promoted by Pochettino, his ability to lead long-term projects and his experience in Spanish football (he led Espanyol de Barcelona between 2009 and 2012) captivated the powerful team from Madrid who seems willing to pay anything to hire him.

His statements against Barcelona have also been liked by fans. In October, during an interview with Marca newspaper, he said: "I have a lot of friends in Barcelona, who are from the Barça team and I have enormous respect for them, but my way and that of Barcelona go through different paths, in opposite directions and that would be impossible "

However, Pochettino is shown as a man of his word and does not have in mind to leave Tottenham. In October, when he was surveyed by the Argentine national team, he was forceful: "To think of me for the National Team is a pride, but I have four more years of contract here, so that possibility is unfeasible." To continue with that thought, a rejection of the juicy offer of Madrid is expected, although time may change the positions.
