Southampton are willing to upgrade Mauricio Pochettino's contract to ward off interest from Tottenham.
The Daily Express says Saints are ready to treble Pochettino's wages with a £6million-a-year deal to keep him out of the clutches of Tottenham.
Southampton owner Katharina Liebherr is prepared to break the bank to keep Pochettino at the club.
The new deal on the table will put him only just behind incoming Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on the earnings scale.
