Inter Milan intermediaries are convinced Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham contract carries a buyout clause.
Gianlucadimarzio.com says Inter are turning to the Argentine as an alternative to Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.
Tentative enquiries have already been made, with a direct approach planned for this week. Inter reps are also on standby to travel to London for face-to-face talks with Pochettino.
Inter are willing to offer a contract package worth €10 million-a-year to tempt the Spurs manager.
And it's suggested intermediaries believe Pochettino can be bought out of his contract at Tottenham for a fee of €5 million.
