Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo faces a battle to keep hold of coach Diego Simeone.
Simeone will see out the season with Atletico, but there are no guarantees he will be around for preseason.
Punto Pelota says Simeone is under consideration by the Argentine FA to succeed Alejandro Sabella after the World Cup.
El Cholo is also interesting former club Inter Milan, where president Erick Thohir has sent out feelers to potential replacements for Walter Mazzarri.
